INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

Thank you—the MartinLogan owner, for loving what we do, and making it possible for us to do what we love.

MartinLogan’s dedicated in-house engineering and design team developed the Motion Vision X soundbar to deliver exceptional multi-channel performance from a single system that easily integrates and installs in a diverse variety of environments—whether table or wall mounted. The Motion Vision X produces an enveloping field of richly detailed audio for both music and movies via three tweeters incorporating MartinLogan’s award-winning Folded Motion technology, four high-performance woofers, and seven channels of dedicated amplification representing 100 watts of total system power.

Advanced digital signal processing technology allows MartinLogan to replace five dedicated home theater speakers with a one piece solution capable of reproducing multi-channel recordings

with unflinching accuracy, resolution, and detail— the inspiration behind every MartinLogan design. The Motion Vision X reproduces front left, right, and center channels via the system’s dedicated tweeters and woofers. Surround channels are simulated using sophisticated digital signal processing that directs sound from the system’s tweeters and woofers throughout the room.

Additionally, for a fully authentic surround sound experience, the Motion Vision X’s built in SWT-2 wireless transmitter makes connecting a dedicated compatible MartinLogan subwoofer as simple as the push of a button—no wires necessary.

The Motion Vision X’s simple remote control quickly adjusts volume and selects inputs. The remote also allows you to easily switch between three discrete acoustic modes—’Night’ mode (to dial down the bass), ‘Bass +’ mode (for those moments requiring a little extra thunder), and a ‘Normal’ mode that restores normal levels.

PLACEMENT AND MOUNTING

LOCATION

We recommend locating the soundbar centered directly above or below your video display. The soundbar menu allows you to optimize acoustic performance for either ‘on-wall’ or ‘on-shelf’ installations. You will learn more about accessing these options in the “Controls” section of this manual.

INSTALLING ON A FLAT SURFACE

If you have a surface that provides a wide, level, and stable platform (such as a table or audio/video rack), the soundbar can be placed directly on top.

When installing the system in this configuration,

use the soundbar’s menu system to choose ‘INSTAL > ON.SHLF’ [ON SHELF].

Please note: This soundbar is not magnetically shielded and therefore should not be placed directly beneath or on top of a CRT (cathode ray tube) television. The magnetic field of the soundbar will not affect plasma and LCD style televisions.

ON-WALL INSTALLATION

Note: These instructions assume the mounting surface is standard wood frame and sheetrock construction. If you wish to mount to another type of surface, consult a bonded contractor.

WARNING! We strongly recommend locating the wall bracket so at least one of the screw locations attaches to a stud. WARNING! To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the floor/wall in accordance with the installation instructions.

Required hardware (included):

• (1) Installation template

• (1) Wall bracket

Required hardware (not included):

• (5) Screws appropriate for mounting surface

• (5) Sheet rock anchors (sized for screws)

Note: When installing the system in this configuration, use the soundbar’s menu system to choose ‘INSTAL > ON.WALL’.

Required tools (not included):

• Stud finder

• Level

• Electric drill and drill bits

• Phillips screwdriver

Fig. 1

1 Locate mounting location using a level and the

installation template (fig. 1).

2 Mark the three central pilot hole locations and

remove the installation template (fig. 1).

3 Using a stud finder, determine if there is a wall

stud directly behind one of the three center screw locations (fig. 2a).

If no stud is found: use the center most screw

location and drill a pilot hole for the wall anchor. Install a wall anchor at this location. If a wall stud is found: drill a pilot hole into the stud.

4 Using a screw, attach the wall bracket to the

wall. DO NOT tighten (fig. 2b).

5 Using a stud finder, determine if a wall stud

is directly behind any of the remaining screw locations (fig. 2a).

If no stud is found: use the top and bottom

center-most screw locations. If a wall stud is found: use the top and bottom screw locations with a stud behind them.

Fig. 2a

Use a level to square the wall bracket and mark

the remaining pilot hole locations (fig. 2b).

6 Remove the wall bracket or pivot to access the

remaining screw locations (fig. 2b).

If no stud is found: drill pilot holes and install

wall anchors. If a wall stud is found: drill pilot holes into the stud.

7 Using the screws, attach the wall bracket to the

wall. DO NOT fully tighten.

8 Use a level to square the wall bracket. Tighten

all screws (fig. 2b).

9 Attach audio and power cables as needed.

Refer to the ‘Connection’ section of this manual.

CONNECTION

WARNING! Turn your soundbar off before making or breaking any signal connections! WARNING! The power cord should not be installed, removed, or left detached from the soundbar while the other end is connected to an AC power source.

POWER CONNECTION

The power cord should be firmly inserted into the AC power receptacle on the rear connection panel of the soundbar, then to any convenient AC wall outlet. The soundbar also integrates a signal sensing power supply that automatically switches off after sensing no audio signal for 30 minutes (this will only occur when the menu’s power setting is set to ‘Auto’).

If you remove your soundbar from the country of original sale, be certain that AC power supplied

in any subsequent location is suitable before connecting and operating the soundbar. Substantially impaired performance or severe damage may occur to the soundbar if operation is attempted from an incorrect AC power source.

SIGNAL CONNECTION

When utilizing the soundbar to reproduce audio, a television’s audio output should be defeated. Some televisions will allow you to turn off the internal speaker via the television’s menu system. Other televisions may require you to turn the television’s volume to “zero” or “mute”.

Additionally, your television may require you to turn on the digital optical or digital coaxial output and configure the output for 5.1 surround sound. Please refer to your television’s manual.

Connections are made at the signal input section on the rear electronics panel of the soundbar. Your soundbar features three wired audio inputs:

• 1 x Digital Optical inputs

• 1 x Digital Coaxial input

• 1 x Left/Right Analog (3.5mm) input

When connecting your system, there are any variety of configurations that will work, and these methods will vary based on user preference.

Some users will choose to route all sources (such as DVD player, cable box, game console, media streamer, etc.) to their television via a digital (optical or coaxial) connection and use the television to switch between audio/video sources. The advantage of this connection method is that only one audio cable (either a digital optical or digital coaxial cable) needs to connect between the television and the soundbar—and changing the input on your television will change the audio signal being sent to the soundbar (without having to change the input setting on the soundbar itself). Please note: most televisions are not capable of passing multi-channel encoded audio signals and will down-mix these signals to

a 2-channel stereo mix before sending them to the television’s digital output.

Most users will want to run cables directly from the source to the soundbar while simultaneously running HDMI from each source to the TV for the video signal. This has the advantage of allowing the soundbar to receive multi-channel encoded material. However, some newer source devices turn off their optical/coaxial outputs when their HDMI output is used.

Depending on your number of sources, the TV may be used for switching some sources while audio output from the primary source devices may be directly connected to the soundbar for multi-channel sound.

A few important points to remember when connecting your soundbar:

• Digital optical and digital coaxial connections will provide the highest audio fidelity when connecting to the soundbar.

• If your soundbar is not producing sound or surround sound from your Blu-ray player, DVD player, or other multi-channel audio capable

Fig. 5

source, you may need to set the player’s digital audio output to “Bitstream” (also called “Raw”, “Direct Digital”, or “High Bit Rate”). If “PCM” is selected you’ll lose the multi-channel encoded sound. Some players only require you to turn PCM off to configure for multi-channel encoded

sound. Please refer to your player’s manual.

• In a setup where HDMI is used to connect your audio/video source component to your television, you will likely need to run an additional digital optical or coaxial cable between the source component and your soundbar. This extra connection

AN INTRODUCTION TO AUDIO CONNECTIONS

HDMI: HDMI utilizes one cable to pass high-definition video signals and multi-

channel encoded digital audio between a source component and television

or receiver. Your soundbar is not equipped with an HDMI input. However,

in many installations you will want to use HDMI to connect a video source

component to your television (to pass video) and an additional digital optical

or digital coaxial cable (to pass audio) to the soundbar.

Digital Optical: Digital optical utilizes one cable to pass digital audio

information (no video). A digital optical cable offers a high-quality digital

connection and passes multi-channel encoded audio between a source

component and an audio output device.

Digital Coaxial: Digital coaxial utilizes one cable to pass digital audio information (no

video). A digital coaxial cable offers a high-quality digital connection and passes

multi-channel encoded audio between a source component and an audio output

device. Please note: The ‘RCA’ style end of a digital coaxial cable is identical

to those found on common left/right analog RCA cables. However, a cable designed specifically for digital coaxial connections should be employed—do not use a standard left/ right analog RCA style cable because it will likely not be up to the task of handling the high bit-rate necessary for a reliable digital connection.

Analog Left/Right RCA to Stereo 3.5mm: Analog cables are used to pass

audio information (no video). Older gaming consoles, portable media player

docks, VCRs and similar source components (which are not capable of playing

multi-channel encoded content) will often offer connection only through left/

right analog RCA cables. To connect to these devices use a Left/Right RCA

to stereo 3.5mm cable.

Play-Fi

: This audio streaming technology allows a wide variety of devices

to connect to an audio output device and stream audio. Play-Fi establishes a connection directly with an audio output device and requires both devices to

be connected to a local area network (via a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection).

will allow for multi-channel encoded audio to reach the soundbar.

• Audio-only sources capable of only stereo output (such a portable media player docks or CD player) will often connect directly to the soundbar via the analog input.

NETWORK CONNECTION FOR DTS PLAY-FI®

To stream audio to your soundbar via DTS Play-Fi, a LAN (local area network) connection is required. This connection can be established using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Refer to the DTS Play-Fi section of this manual for setup and usage details.

SUBWOOFER CONNECTION

You may choose to employ a separate subwoofer to reproduce the .1/LFE channel information in multi-channel recordings and/or reinforce bass performance of stereo recordings. Any aftermarket home theater subwoofer can be connected via the soundbar’s “LFE Out” RCA connection. We, of course, recommend using a superb MartinLogan subwoofer.

Additionally, this soundbar integrates a built-in SWT-2 subwoofer wireless transmitter compatible with select MartinLogan subwoofers. Subwoofers utilizing SWT-2 technology will reference this wireless system on the connection panel.

Please note: When utilizing a wireless connection, it is not necessary to use the SWT-2 wireless transmitter included with the subwoofer.

No Subwoofer

For systems not using a separate subwoofer, use the soundbar’s menu system and choose “SUB > NO SUB”. This sets the soundbar to reproduce the entire frequency range when playing content.

Wired Subwoofer Connection

Using a high-quality RCA style cable designed for

subwoofer connection, connect “Sub Out” from the soundbar to the “LFE In/Sub In” on the subwoofer.

Use the soundbar’s menu system and choose ‘SUB > WIRED’.

Reference your subwoofer’s manual to learn how to properly adjust the sub’s level and phase controls to achieve proper blending with the soundbar. The subwoofer’s crossover should be set to “bypass”, “LFE”. For subwoofers that do not have a “bypass” or “LFE” crossover setting, we recommend adjusting the crossover to its highest setting.

Wireless Subwoofer Connection

Press the subwoofer’s sync button and hold for 3 seconds. The subwoofer’s LED will blink quickly.

Use the soundbar’s menu system and choose ‘SUB > WIRELS > SYNC’. The soundbar will display ‘PSH.BTN’ [PUSH BUTTON].

If pairing has completed successfully, the subwoofer’s LED will stop blinking and remain on and the soundbar will display ‘SYNCED’. Please note: If a link is not established after 30 seconds, the subwoofer’s LED will start blinking slowly and the soundbar will display ‘FAILED’. Repeat if syncing fails.

Reference your subwoofer’s manual to learn how to properly adjust the sub’s level and phase controls. The subwoofer’s crossover should be set to “bypass” or “LFE”. For subwoofers that do not have a “bypass” or “LFE” crossover setting, we recommend adjusting the crossover to its highest setting.

Please note: MartinLogan once utilized a wireless subwoofer connection system named “SWT-1”. Subwoofers equipped with SWT-1 tech-
