Installation

Alternative Home Theater System Configurations

Placement

Front speakers - Front speakers should be mounted on wall, close to both sides of TV screen.

Center speaker - Center speaker should be mounted immediately with closest distance

possible to the TV screen. This position ensures perfect integration between picture and

sound, thus the optimum and realistic experience.

Note: For best integrated sound effect, tweeter position of front and center speaker should

be at the same level, i.g. all three tweeters are at the same distance above floor.

Rear speakers - The “surround” speaker position is an important element in achieving a

realistic home theater experience. Mount rear speaker on side walls in line with the listening

position, or on the back wall, no more than 6.5 feet (2M) above floor. Please ensure the

speakers are not too far from listening position or the effect will diminish. Before mounting

brackets on walls, you may try to move the rear speakers on different locations to get the

best “feel” of surround effect.

Subwoofer - The subwoofer can be placed virtually anywhere in your room without

affecting the stereo image of your main speakers. Placing the unit in a corner of the room

will yield the greatest bass output but may not provide the best sound, as this position will

cause maximum room mode resonance. You can start with this position and then move the

subwoofer to different areas until you find the sound satisfactory. The best method is to try

different positions. Keep a clearance of 100mm/4” from the wall or furniture to provide best

performance.

Wall Mounting Instructions

Each PL speaker is equipped with a wall mounting bracket. One of the two parts from this

bracket is pre-installed on the back of the cabinet. Please refer to diagram.

Connection

Note: Amplifier should be switched off and disconnected from power while you are

connecting speakers to amplifier. Turn your amplifier on only after you check and make

sure speakers are properly connected.

Connections are made at the terminals located on the back of the loudspeaker system. The

terminals accept spade plugs, bare wire or banana plugs.

Locate the Front Speaker, Center Speaker and Rear Speaker terminals on your AV amplifier.

For each channel, the RED terminal and the BLACK terminal on the speaker must be

connected to the corresponding RED (+) and BLACK (-) loudspeaker connections on the

amplifier. Make sure you follow this + to + and - to - connecting method so the speakers are

working in phase for best bass response and imaging.

Please use highest quality speaker cables with shortest distance from speaker to amplifier to

ensure least resistance and signal lost.

Turn amplifier power on only after you check to make sure all connections are made

correctly.

Subwoofer Instructions

The PL speakers must be used in combination with a subwoofer to have bass performance

and provide full impact from motion pictures. For best integration and smooth transition,

use SD-10 subwoofer for your system. For operating instructions on the SD-10, please refer

to its separate manual.
