Thank you for selecting our speakers as part of your high-fidelity system. We at Kenwood are confident that your choice will bring you years of rich listening pleasure. Please take the time to read through this booklet carefully. It will help you to obtain the peak performance for which the speakers were designed.

Installation

This speaker system can provide full Surround sound. To enjoy the full effect of the Surround sound field, please position the speakers as described below.

• Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV. Angle the speakers towards the listening area to enhance the stereo effect.
• Place the center speaker on the center between the front left and right speakers. Tilt the speaker upward or downward so that it is directly facing the listening area.
• Place the surround speakers as high as possible, either directly to the sides of the listening area or else slightly behind the listening area. Adjust the angles so that these speakers are facing directly towards the listeners.

Connection

The speaker wires and labels of speakers' back panel are color-coded to facilitate connection. Connect each wire to the matching-colored terminal, as shown in the figure.

Be sure to turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting speakers.

Notes:

• The speaker system's peak input power is indicated in the specifications. To avoid speaker damage, never run the speakers at power levels exceeding this limit.
• This speaker system has a nominal impedance of 8 ohms. To ensure safe and reliable operation, be sure that your amplifier or receiver is able to work with 8-ohm speakers.
• Never short the (+) and (-) speaker wires together.
• Do not reverse L and R or (+) and (-) connections. Reversal of sides or polarities may result in unnatural, incorrectly positioned sound.
