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 5-channel 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.
Figure 2.This overhead view shows a typical home theater plan.
Left/right rear channels are for a 7-channel system. Center rear
channel is for a 6-channel system.

PLACEMENT
NOTE: The satellite speakers can be placed directly on a shelf
using one of the three included shelf stands, or mounted on a
wall using the included wall brackets. Optional floor stands and
in-wall recess kits are also available. Please contact your dealer.
Left and Right Front Channels
For left and right front channels, place one satellite to the left
and another to the right of the television, as shown in Figure 1.
Since the speakers are magnetically shielded, you can place
them very close to the TV without worrying about the magnetic
field distorting the picture.
Surround Channels
For left and right surround channels, place one speaker on the
left and another on the right, to the side of or slightly behind the
listening area.The surround speakers should be mounted at a
height of between 4 feet and 7 feet.
In 6- or 7-channel configurations, place the rear channel(s)
behind the listening position, as shown in Figure 2.

Step Six
The wall-bracket design allows for rotation of the speakers
at angles up to 30 degrees of center. Position the speakers
so they face toward the primary listening position, before
fully tightening.
Figure 3.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 polished.
Clean the grille by gentle vacuuming.

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-SAT4000 in a Dolby* Digital or DTS®home
theater system, make sure the receiver’s/processor’s speaker
modes are set to“Small.”
Wiring and Polarity
The TSS-SAT4000 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 3. 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-SAT4000 and
the rest of your speaker system, adjust the levels for all of
the channels as recommended by the manufacturer of your
receiver/processor.
