instructions, as well as those in the owner’s manuals of

associated components in your home theater system. Save

these instructions for future reference.

PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM

Before deciding where to best place your speakers, survey your

room and study Figures 1 and 2.

Figure 1. In this overhead view of a typical installation, satellite

speakers are used to reproduce sound for the front and surround

channels.The center channel reproduces sound and dialogue.

The powered subwoofer provides bass for effects and music.

Tilting the Speaker

If needed, the enclosed stand allows you to tilt the speaker

across a wide range (i.e., up a maximum of 18˚ or down a

maximum of 7˚), as shown in Figure 3.

Important!

Do not exceed the tilt range. Doing so may cause the speaker to

fall out of its stand.

Figure 3.

Included Wall Bracket

The customer is responsible for proper selection and use of

mounting hardware, and for correctly and safely wall-mounting

the speakers.

screws on the ends as shown.

in the center. After deciding where to place the center speaker,

attach the wall bracket (in a horizontal position) to the wall

using the appropriate screws and anchors.

WIRING THE SPEAKER

After placing the speaker, you are ready to connect it to your

system. First, turn off all audio system power. Use high-quality

speaker wire to make the connections. Consult the owner’s

manuals included with your amplifier or receiver for connection

and operation procedures.

Surround Modes

When using theTSS-CENTER4000 in a Dolby* Digital or DTS®

home theater system, make sure the receiver’s/processor’s

center channel speaker modes are set to“Small.”

Wiring and Polarity

The TSS-CENTER4000 speaker has gold-plated terminals that

can accept bare wire.To ensure proper polarity, connect each

+ terminal on the back of the amplifier or receiver to the

respective + (red) terminal on each speaker, as shown in

Figure 4. Connect the – (black) terminals in a similar way.

See the owner’s manuals that were included with your

amplifier or receiver to confirm connection procedures.

Important!

Do not reverse polarities (i.e., + to – or – to +) when making

connections. Doing so will degrade the imaging and bass

response of the home theater system.

After correctly placing and wiring theTSS-CENTER4000 and

the rest of your speaker system, adjust the levels for all of the

channels as recommended by the manufacturer of your

receiver/processor.

Figure 4.This example shows how to connect bare wires to the

terminals. Banana plugs may also be inserted directly into the

rear of the connector.

1Loosen the terminals.

2Insert bare ends; tighten terminals.

CARE OF YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM

When needed, use a soft cloth to remove any fingerprints or

to wipe off dust. Do not use any cleaning products or polish.

Clean the grille by gentle vacuuming.
