Placement System 920, 1200 and 2200 High Performance Loudspeakers Placement Surround Effects and Speaker Locations Speaker/room interactions have a huge impact on the sound of the system. Moving the speakers just a little can make a dramatic difference in what you hear. Remember that the best acoustic placement of the speakers will vary from room to room. Use the following placement guidelines (see opposite page) as a starting point. But also feel free to experiment.

Connecting Your System System 920, 1200 and 2200 High Performance Loudspeakers Stereo Systems Connecting Your System If you are setting up a stereo system using a pair of 920, 1200 or 2200 LR’s with subwoofer(s), begin with these general guidelines: We recommend that you connect your system using high quality dual conductor stranded wire of 16 gauge or heavier, for lengths up to 25 feet (8m) . Remember, the lower the gauge number, the heavier the wire. Use heavier gauge wire for longer runs.
System Wiring Instruction Manual System Wiring Be sure to connect red (+) on the speaker to red (+) on the amplifier and black (–) on the speaker to black (–) on the amplifier.
System Setup System 920, 1200 and 2200 High Performance Loudspeakers System Setup Bass Management Some older surround sound decoders and receivers offer a choice of “Normal” or “Wide-band” modes for the center channel speaker. The Model 1200 and 2200 C are designed to be used in the Normal mode. Additionally, digital processing multi-channel systems provide a Bass Management menu, which typically requires you to select between “Small” or “Large” speakers during system set-up.
Mounting 9 Instruction Manual Setting Levels Mounting When setting up a complete home theater we strongly recommend that you use a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter. As of this writing Radio Shack® has one that’s affordably priced (approximately $40-$60) that can be used effectively. To use this meter, turn on your system, put the processor/receiver in Test Mode and set its main volume control to 0dB (or a reasonably loud level).
Care of Your Speakers System 920, 1200 and 2200 High Performance Loudspeakers Care of Your Speakers Clean your cabinets using a soft, lint-free cloth. If you wish, you can slightly moisten the cloth with plain water. Do not use any other cleaning agents or chemicals. Be careful not to get any water on the driver cones or tweeter domes. After carefully removing the grilles from the speakers by pulling them forward, gently clean them with a quick pass from a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.
