Using
your
ClUR
2300s
as
Rear Surrounds
C/LIR 2300s can be used as exceptional quality rear surround speakers.
If
you use them as rear surrounds, simply hook them up normally to the rear
surround amplifier outputs and set your bass management system to "Large"
left and right surrounds.
Using
your
ClUR
2300s in a Stereo System
If
you are using a pair
of
C/L/R 2300s also as the main left and right
speakers in a stereo system, hook them up to the left and right channel
amplifier outputs as described in the preceding section.
If
you are using a
Dolby Digital receiver set the base management system to "Large" left
&
right main front speakers and
"No"
sub.
Setting
Bass
and
Treble
Controls
on
Your
Receiver
or
Amplifier
Normally we recommend that you set the Bass and Treble controls on flat
or
0 dB. This will give you the most linear and natural sound.
If
you want
more bass, raise the subwoofer level control on your C/LIR 2300, keeping in
mind that even a little turn
of
the knob can make a big difference in the
sound. Also,
if
your amplifier
or
receiver has a graphic equalizer, we recom-
mend that you leave it flat. The reason for this is that we have spoken with
many consumers about what they thought were improperly sounding speakers
when in fact the problem was misadjusted tone controls. When in doubt,
leave them flat; this almost always sounds the best.
Powering
Up
the
Active
Subwoofer
Section
Your C/LIR 2300(s) contains a-built-in, active powered subwoofer section
as well
as
an electronic crossover and so each C/L/R 2300 must be plugged
into an electrical socket (unswitched if possible)
of
the appropriate voltage
(as indicated on the back
of
your unit) using the plug on the end
of
the black
cord attached to the electronics module on the back
of
the loudspeaker. The
C/lJR
2300 has a special circuit which automatically turns the powered sub-
woofer section on when a signal
is
fed to the loudspeaker and does not require
an on-off switch. The red LED on the back panel will light up when a signal is
sensed and the amplifier turns on.
If
you hear a "pop" when the amp powers
up, this
is
normal. Please note that after the cessation
of
a signal, it may take
up to
an
hour for the amplifier to actually turn off.
