Important safety instructions
SAFETY
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result in the risk of re or
electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cables, damaged
or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in electric
shock or re hazard. Periodically examine the power cable - if its appearance indicates
damage have it replaced by your service technician.
Heat dispersion
Leave at least 10 cm of space between the top, back and sides of the unit
and the wall or other components for proper ventilation.
Plug tting instructions (UK only)
The cord supplied with this appliance is factory-ted with a UK mains plug
ted with a 5-amp fuse inside. If it is necessary to change the fuse, it is im-
portant that a 5-amp fuse is used. If the plug needs to be changed because
it is not suitable for your socket, or becomes damaged, it should be cut off
and an appropriate plug ted following the wiring instructions below. The plug
must then be disposed of safely, as insertion into a mains socket is likely to
cause an electrical hazard. Should it be necessary to t a 3-pin BS mains
plug to the power cord, the wires should be ted as shown in this diagram.
The colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug. Connect them as follows: The wire which is coloured BLUE must be con-
nected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN
must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘L’ or coloured RED. The wire which is coloured
GREEN/YELLOW must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘E’ or coloured GREEN.
If a standard 13-amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 5-amp fuse must be ted or, if any other type of plug is used, a
5-amp fuse must be ted, either in the plug or adaptor, or on the distribution board.

7. Surround Right Speaker 8. Listening Position
Standard speaker setup for surround sound
1. Front Right and Left speakers - These are the main speakers providing the front stereo effect of the sound
image.
2. Centre speaker - Produces a rich sound image by serving as a sound source for the front right and left speak-
ers and enhancing the sonic movement.
3. Surround Right and Left speakers - Adds three-dimensional sonic movement and produces environmental
sound associated with the background and effect sound for each scene.
4. Subwoofer - Produces powerful and heavy bass.
Important points regarding speaker placement
Front Right, Left speakers and Centre speaker
Place these three speakers all at the same height.
Place each speaker so that it is aimed at the location of the listener’s ears when at the listening position.
Place left and right speakers at the same distance from the listening position.
Subwoofer
Ideally a subwoofer should always be located in front of the listening position between the Front Left and Right
speakers. Since all rooms vary, experiment with the placement of your subwoofer for the best overall sound im-
age (placing a subwoofer in the corner of a room often helps to disperse the sound).
Surround Left and Right Speakers
Place these two speakers all at the same height.
Place each speaker so that it is aimed at the location of the listener’s ears when at the listening position.
Place left and right speakers at the same distance from the listening position.

With this switch set to AUTO (1), when not in use the Subwoofer shuts down to save power
and switches on when it senses a signal. This can be over-ridden by switching to ON or
OFF.
The Phase Switch (2) changes the phase of the Subwoofer so that it works in phase
with the rest of the speakers in the system. Place the Subwoofer more than 1 metre away
from the front speakers and switch the phase between 0° and 180°. When the Subwoofer
sounds louder and fuller then it is in phase.
The Crossover control (3) changes the frequency at which the Subwoofer starts to work.
It is recommended that the crossover point is set to the ‘AV‘ setting on the dial when used
with the TI 1000 5.1 System. If you are using the Subwoofer with a non TIBO system then
you change the crossover point to suit your system.
The Level Control (4) increases or decreases the volume of the Subwoofer in relation
to the other speakers in the system. Start with the volume at 0 on the dial then turn it up
slowly until you can hear it. The Subwoofer should be heard as part of the overall sound
and not overpower the rest of the system. There is no rule for setting the volume on the
Subwoofer so experiment with different music and lms to set it to your tastes.
The Line Input-LFE (6) is TIBO prefered AV connection to the amplier. Using the cable
provided, connect this to the Subwoofer output on your AV amplier or DVD. Use R and L if
your amplier output is split left and right.
