01 Getting Started

Installation

You can install the Control Unit in three ways: On a table stand, on a Tallboy type of stand, or on the wall. Choose the installation method that ﬁ ts your installation area and decorating plan, and then follow the appropriate directions below.

Installing on the Table Stand

Fit the rear round side of the product into the

stand holes and ﬁ x it with 4 small black screws (4x12).

- Ensure that you insert it in the right direction.

Diagram 2 shows the product installed properly

on the table stand.

Installing on a Tallboy Type of Stand

If you want to place the Control Unit vertically on the ﬂ oor, use a Tallboy type of stand with a stand base and pole. Proceed with the installation considering the size, installation area, and position of the Tallboy stand.

Turn the stand base over so the black side

(bottom) faces you.

- The top is silver. The bottom is black

English 21

Getting Started

Push the smaller plug on the system cable

through the cable hole in the bottom of the base.

- The ﬁ t might be tight and you may have to wiggle it through or use some force.

CAUTION

The stand base is heavy.



Pull the cable through the bottom so that 3 1/2

to 4 feet protrudes through the top.

Fit the stand pole into the cable hole on the top

(silver) side of the stand base.

- Align the groove in the pole with the groove in the stand base.

Fix the stand pole to the base with three (3) M13

x L15 screws.

- These are the longest screws in the Control Unit screw pack.

- The three screw holes form a triangle in the center of the base bottom.

3 1/2 ~ 4 feet

Bottom

7. Fit the clasps on the Control Unit bottom into

the notches on the Stand Pole Bracket.

Fix the Control Unit to the Stand Pole using 2

silver M4 x L6 screws.

Squeeze the spring releases on the sides

of the small plug, and then attach it to the system jack in the well on the bottom of the Control Unit.

- Leave some slack in the cable.

Press the cable into the cable holder in the

10.

Control Unit near the plug.

Press the cable into the notch that runs the

11.

length of the stand pole.

- The top is a tight ﬁ t and you may have to use some force.

English 23

Getting Started

Tip the stand slightly, and then press the cable

12.

on the bottom into the notch in the stand base bottom.

- Loosen the screw on one end of the cable bracket on the bottom of stand base and turn the cable bracket aside. Arrange the system cable so it will pass under the bracket, and then turn the cable bracket back to its original position. Tighten it down with the screw.

Insert the Pole Holder into the notch at the top

13.

of the stand pole.

- The Pole Holder holds the cable in place.

Diagram 14 shows the Control Unit installed

properly on the Tallboy type of stand.

24 English

Installing the Product on the Wall

Use the wall mount bracket if you want to install the Control Unit on the wall.

Place the wall mount bracket in a desired area

of the wall arrow pointing up, and then use 4 screws (not supplied) to ﬁ x it on the wall.

- We recommend attaching the wall mount bracket to an area of the wall backed by a stud.

- If there is no stud where you want to attach the wall mount bracket, use screws with mollies that can support the weight of the Control Unit.

Attach the back unit bracket to the Control Unit

using four provided black M4 x L12 screws.

- When you place the bracket on correctly, the screw holes are indented and the clasps on the Control Unit mount pass through the two rectangular holes in the bracket and are ﬂ ush with the top of the bracket.

01 Getting Started

Fully insert the back bracket’s clasp into the wall

mount bracket receptacle, and then ﬁ x it by sliding it down fully.

- Later on, you will need to remove the Control Unit from the wall temporarily to attach the system cable to the back of the Control Unit.

Diagram 4 shows the Control Unit installed

properly on the wall.

Connections

This section describes various methods of connecting the Control Unit to other external components. Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

Connecting the Speakers

Connecting the Subwoofer

To activate the product, you must connect the subwoofer to the Control Unit using the system cable. Most of external connections including the power supply, speakers, and TV are made through the subwoofer.

CAUTION

Do not plug or unplug the system cable when the power cord is plugged in. You can damage the



product.

Attaching the Toroidal Ferrite Core to the Power Cord of the Subwoofer

Attaching a Toroidal ferrite core to the power cord of the Subwoofer, helps prevent RF interference from radio signals.

Pull the ﬁ xing tab of the Toroidal ferrite core to open it.

Make three loops in the power cable of the subwoofer.

Attach the Toroidal ferrite core to the Subwoofer power cord as the ﬁ gure shows, and then press the core until it clicks.

Attaching the Toroidal Ferrite Core to the System Cable

Pull the ﬁ xing tabs of three Toroidal ferrite cores to open them.

Place two cores on one end of the system cable, and one core on the other end of the system cable. Then, close each core and press it until you hear a click.

- Do not make loops around the core with the system cable as you did with the power cord. Simply attach each core, close it, and then press it until it clicks.
