Phase Technology PC-33.5 PC-SUB - Manual (Page 5)

Rear surround speakers also should be placed at or slightly above your listening position for the best reproduction
of surround-sound effects. Ideally, they should be facing into your favorite listening position from either side of the
room, but placing them at the rear corners of the room facing front is also recommended.
Center speaker placement should be, if possible, directly on top of or under your TV monitor or projection TV screen.
This correctly positions the critical sound track information (usually dialogue) that fi lmmakers direct to the center
channel. Phase Technology center speakers are magnetically shielded so that they will not interfere with your TV
picture.
Subwoofer placement is less critical, because the frequencies they reproduce are omni directional. This means the
human ear doesn’t perceive these low frequencies as coming from a specifi c direction, enabling placement of a
subwoofer virtually anywhere in the listening room.
It’s best, however, to keep a subwoofer within the sound fi eld of the other speakers. The closer the subwoofer is to
a wall, the louder and more intense its bass output will be: this effect is even stronger when the sub is placed in or
near a room’s corner. If you must choose a less-than-ideal position, the output level of Phase Technology powered
subwoofers is adjustable to compensate for your listening environment.
SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
The following instructions apply whether you are using a separate amplifi er and other components or an integrated
receiver. However, for simplicity we will use the term “amplifi er” throughout this manual to mean both. With system
power off and your amplifi er unplugged, please follow these steps:
Special Note: Observe Speaker Polarity Carefully!
Every cable, speaker and amplifi er is clearly marked to show their positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. Amps and
speakers may use some combination of these symbols and/or colors to indicate positive (usually red) and negative
(usually black or white) connections. One strand of your cable will also be ridged and/or marked with a colored line
or other indicator on the positive side
