BRITAIN'S MOST FAMOUS LOUDSPEAKERS
Delay Settings
Many AV processors feature delay settings. The purpose of delay is to enable surround and dialogue information to arrive at the listener’s ears at the same time as the Front channels, even when the listening seat is in a non-ideal position.
Rear Delay: If the listening position is equidistant from the Front and Rear speakers, a low delay setting should be set. The closer the listener is to the Rear speakers the higher should be the delay setting used,
Centre Delay: If the Centre speaker is level with (or slightly behind) the Front speakers, set the delay to zero. If the Centre speaker is forward of the Front speakers, increase the delay.
LFE
In domestic systems the LFE channel typically feeds into the
CARE AND SERVICE
CARE
The cabinets can be occasionally wiped with a damp (not wet) cloth. Spray polishes can be used but they must not be sprayed onto the grilles or drive units. Spray a very small amount of polish onto a cleaning cloth not the loudspeaker.
WARRANTY IN THE UK
In the unlikely even that your unit develops a fault you should return it to your Wharfedale dealer using the original packing to ensure safe shipping. The terms of your warranty may vary in different countries but in all cases the guarantee excludes:
All damage caused through accident, misuse, wear and tear, neglect, incorrect installation, adjustment or repair by unauthorised personnel. Liability for damage or loss occurring in transit to or from the purchaser.
subwoofer. When you set the LFE level at your AV processor, use care as the powerful low frequencies can overload domestic loudspeakers. If you hear popping or thumping noises coming from the front loudspeakers or subwoofer, immediately turn the AV Processor's volume level down and then back off the LFE level. This should cure the problem. If it does not, back off the volume level at the subwoofer. Please read the relevant sections of your AV amplifier manual and familiarise yourself with the various issues. If you are unsure, consult your dealer for help.
Phase
A Home Theatre system should have a precise front stage, a diffuse rear stage and good localisation of dialogue. If the colours on the loudspeaker terminals do not correspond with those on the amplifier, the sound will appear poorly focused or ‘out of phase’. For this reason it is essential that the speakers are connected according to the wiring diagrams in this manual.
Wharfedale will not be liable for any consequential damage, loss or injury, arising from or in conjunction with this equipment.
The warranty on this product if it is sold outside the United Kingdom shall comply with applicable law and shall be the sole responsibility of the distributor that supplied this product.

PRELIMINARIES
UNPACKING YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS
After taking out the top-most packing piece, lift the loudspeakers and accessories from the carton and remove all the polythene bags.
The contents of each carton are as follows:
RS-10 Satellites:
! Two RS-10 satellite speakers ! Two wall brackets*
RS-10 Centre:
! One RS-10 Centre speaker ! One wall bracket* ! One table stand with mounting hardware
Check all the items after unpacking. If any item is missing or damaged, immediately contact your Wharfedale dealer. Retain the packaging. If you decide to dispose of the packing, follow all recycling regulations in your area.
* Note: No hardware is supplied to attach wall brackets to walls.
Table stands and floor stands for the RS-10 satellites are available as optional extras from your dealer.
Before making any connections, switch the amplifier off. When you switch on your system or change sources, set the
volume control at minimum and turn the level up gradually.
DO NOT use your amplifier at full volume. Ensure that all loudspeakers in the system are correctly
wired. DO NOT subject your loudspeakers to excessive cold, heat,
humidity or sunlight. DO NOT place heavy objects on top of loudspeakers DO NOT connect loudspeakers to the mains supply. DO NOT dismantle the loudspeaker. There are no user
serviceable parts inside it and you will void the warranty.
PREPARATIONS FOR INSTALLATION
STANDS AND BRACKETS
RS-10 loudspeakers must be operated attached to wall brackets or stands. Wall brackets are supplied for all RS-10 models and a table stand is also supplied for the RS-10 Centre speaker.
Optional table stands and floor stands for RS-10 satellites are available in pairs from your Wharfedale dealer.
Use only the designed stands or brackets supplied with the units.
CONNECTORS AND CABLES
You will need five lengths of two core cable. The cables connecting the Front loudspeakers should be the same length and the cables connecting the Rear loudspeakers should also be of equal length. We suggest you use cable designed for audio and not general purpose ‘bell’ or ‘zip’ wire.
Loudspeaker cable is polarity coded along one edge. Split the cable to a depth of 25mm and strip 8mm of insulation from each wire. If the cable is stranded, twist the strands together.
RS-10 loudspeakers have two connection terminals. The
Positive (+) terminal is on the left and has a Red collar. The Negative (–) terminal is on the right and has a Black collar.
To connect the terminals: Unscrew each terminal. Thread the bare end of the cable through the cross-hole in the terminal ensuring there are no loose strands. Tighten securely.
b c
Before connecting your system consider where you will place the speakers in the room. This is particularly important if you are wall mounting loudspeakers.
