for with the speakers’ low frequency controls). Sometimes placement further from the rear wall will increase spaciousness and the sense of depth. The speakers should usually be placed a minimum of 5 to 7 feet apart and kept away from the side walls and corners if possible. A good rule of thumb is to place the speakers separated by one half the length of the wall they are positioned along, and each speaker one quarter the length of the back wall away from the side wall. Speakers may be angled in

Speaker Break-In Your BP7000SC/BP7001SCs should sound good right out of the box; however, an extended break-in period of 40-60 hours or more of normal playing is required to reach full performance capability. Break-in allows the suspensions to work in and results in fuller bass, a more open “blossoming” midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction. Connecting Your Loudspeakers Connecting Your Speakers to Your Electronics Your BP7000SC/BP7001SCs may be connected in several different ways. T

Bi-Wiring The concept of bi-wiring is that higher sonic performance (greater inner detail, higher definition, increased transparency and improved depth) is achieved by utilizing two sets of wires to connect each loudspeaker to its respective channel of your amplifier or receiver. If you choose this method of hook-up, follow these instructions: For bi-wiring: (See Diagram # 2) Remove both the jumpers between the low/mid and high terminals on each speaker. Then take care to ensure that both the

If you have a Dolby Digital system, “tell” your bass management system that you have “Large” left and right front speakers and “No” subwoofer. The base management system will then send the LFE .1 channel signal into the left and right channels, and it will be reproduced by the subwoofers in your BP7000SC/ BP7001SCs, giving you all the benefits of Dolby Digital and the discrete LFE signal. Usually if distortion is heard when the speakers are being driven at loud levels, it is caused by driving

Setting Bass and Treble Controls on Your Receiver or Amplifier Normally we recommend that you set the “Bass” and “Treble” controls on flat or 0 dB. This will give you the most linear and natural sound. If you want more bass, raise the subwoofer’s “Level” control on your BP7000SC/ BP7001SC, keeping in mind that even a little turn of the knob can make a big difference in the sound. Also, if your amplifier or receiver has a graphic equalizer, we recommend that you leave it flat. The reason for this i

Setting Low-Frequency Balance When Using Separate LFE Input We suggest that when you are using a separate LFE input, you set the bass level on your BP7000SC/BP7001SCs to sound balanced when listening to music in stereo and use the .1 channel or bass level control in your Dolby Digital channel balancing procedure on your decoder to raise or lower the bass level for movie sound effects as you require. Normally the level control of the left speaker will be set the same as the level control of the
