MODEL: S38 The S38 can be oriented either horizontally or vertically; however, best performance will result from For stereo-only applications: Less than 6 ­ 8 feet horizontal placement. Although these loudspeakers are designed as a mirrored pair, the decision as to which one is left or right will depend on the amount of space left between them. More than 6 ­ 8 feet A wider stereo image is presented with the tweeter/midrange array outboard, and a tighter image is presented with the array inboard. This placement provides a wide spread in sound, supplemented by the centerchannel speaker. For Home Theater applications: 0-2 ft. 3 SPEAKER CONNECTIONS CONNECTION TIPS Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and (­) terminals. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (­) on the speaker to (­) on the amplifier. Wiring "out of phase" results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image. RIGHT LEFT ­ + ­ + ­+ ­ + Speaker Outputs MODELS S310 & S312 Without pad With pad These models are shipped with four self-adhesive nonskid pads that are to be used when the loudspeaker is intended to be placed on a smoothsurfaced floor, such as tile or hardwood. Gently lay the speaker on its side (not its front or back) on a soft nonabrasive surface. Attach each pad to the bottom of its foot in the widest portion of the recessed area. DO NOT attach the pads if the speaker will be placed on carpeting. NEVER drag the speaker to move it, as this will damage the pads, the feet and/or the wood cabinet itself. Always lift the speaker and carry it to its new location. 4 TROUBLESHOOTING If there is no sound from any of the speakers: · Check that receiver/ amplifier is on and that a source is playing. If there is no sound coming from one speaker: · Check the "Balance" control on your receiver/amplifier. · Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers. If the system plays at low volumes but shuts off as volume is increased: · Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers. [. . . ] We do not recommend sustained operation at these maximum power levels. Occasional refinements may be made to existing products without notice but will always meet or exceed original specifications unless otherwise stated. 7 [. . . ]
