INTRODUCTION
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your speakers are designed to work with a wide range of electronic components. As little as 20 watts per channel can provide enough power for most applications. If you have a large room or prefer louder listening levels, more power may be required.
SATELLITE/CENTER CHANNEL FEATURES
• Video shielding for placement near a TV or monitor
• 1/2" Balanced dome tweeter
• Spring loaded push terminals
• Injection molded plastic cabinets
SUBWOOFER FEATURES
• High efficiency amplifier
• Bass reflex enclosure with low noise vent
• Adjustable low-pass crossover frequency
• Adjustable gain control
SPEAKER PLACEMENT
HTB1 SET UP GUIDE Typical Loudspeaker Placement
Figure 1 illustrates the most generally accepted speaker locations for a home the
ater system. Although there are an infinite number of set up options using 1 as a template will certainly provide a great starting point. Experimentation with slightly different speaker locations may provide improved performance in your specific listening environment.
Left/Center/Right Front Speaker Height
One of the most important parameters for the left/center/right front speakers in a home theater system is height. Figure 2 shows the ideal arrangement of the speakers in relation to the viewing screen: all three speakers are aligned on the same horizontal plane. This establishes a firm image height when special audio effects are panned from one side to the other, such as a speeding car moving across the screen. When a large discontinuity occurs between the heights of the center front channel and the left/right front speakers, as depicted in Figure 3, the image of the moving object becomes confused and somewhat unnatural due to shifts in image height.
Figure
Caution: When choosing an amplifier, do not exceed the power rating of the speaker. If you hear very high levels of audible dis tortion you are exceeding the capabilities of the system. Damage can occur from this distortion, turn the volume back down until the distortion disappears.
Use the following guidelines to maintain the appearance of your speakers. Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the speaker cabinet. Avoid using harsh detergents or cleaning fluids. Remove the grills to vacuum and remove dust. Do not vacuum any of the speaker components, permanent damage could occur.

Refer to Figure A
1) Power Switch: This two position switch controls the power status of the sub woofer. Off: Turns the unit off. On: Turns the unit on regardless of whether a signal is present or not.
2) Subwoofer crossover (Freq): This rotary control adjusts a variable low pass fil ter to set the upper frequency at which the output of the subwoofer begins to roll­off. Continuously variable from 50Hz to 150 Hz, it matches the upper frequency characteristics of the subwoofer to the low frequency response of the main stereo speakers. Recommended setting: 120Hz-150Hz.
3) Line level input: These RCA phono jacks accept a line level full range signal from the preamplifier output of a receiver or preamplifier. This full range signal is processed and amplified to power the subwoofer.
4) Speaker level (high level) input: These spring loaded terminals for speaker wire accept a stereo, speaker level, full range signal from a receiver or power amplifier. This signal is processed and amplified to power the subwoofer.
5) Fuse: For continued protection replace fuse with same type and size listed.
7) Status LED: This light emitting diode shows the status of the subwoofer elec tronics. "Red" indicates that the amplifier is plugged in and the power switch is on.
