POSITIONNING 5
■ Éole speakers have all the same technical features; they can
be used on any channel. All the speakers are magnetically
shielded to prevent interference with the image of your televi-
sion set; they can thus be placed near any screen.
No solid object or piece of furniture should be placed between
■
the speakers and the listener.
Front left and right speakers must be directed towards the lis-
■
tening area and placed on either side of the screen with at
least a distance of 7 ft and 16 ft (2 and 5 m) between the 2
speakers.
The centre satellite should be placed as close as possible to
■
the screen: on the top, below, or directly on your television
set. Place the satellite at the vertical of the screen for a perfect
cohesion and precision between dialogues and picture.
Surround speakers should be placed against the side walls,
■
at listening height or higher if possible and slightly behind the
listening area.
The Éole subwoofer should be placed in the front listening
■
area. To get the best result, it is always necessary to carry out
tests according to the acoustics of the room. To prevent inter-
ference with the screen of your television set, place the sub-
woofer at least 2 ft (0.6m) of your television set.

CONNECTIONS 6
Caution ! Before making any connection turn off your AV amplifier
and unplug it from the outlet. Not doing so may result in damage to
your system.
Caution ! It is imperative before any connection to respect the setting
in phase by connecting the terminals +/red of the AV amplifier to the
terminal +/red of the speakers. Proceed then in the same way for ter-
minals -/black.
Connect of the LINE IN inputs of the
■
put SUBWOOFER/LFE of the AV amplifier using the CINCH
cable.
Check all the connections carried out on the speakers, the
subwoofer and the amplifier. Ensure that each speaker is con-
nected according to its position in the room. Check that all the
speakers are well in phase (+/red in +/red and -/black in -
/black). Once this checking made you can connect your ampli-
fier and the subwoofer to the sector.
Caution ! To prevent the risks of electric shock take care to com-
pletely insert plugs of sector cords.
SUBWOOFER ADJUSTING
Take care of positioning the sector switch 115V/230V on the
right position according to your country.
The switch ON/OFF (located on the back) of the subwoofer
has 3 positions:
ON
■
AUTO: Automatic, the system is put automatically on ON or
■
OFF according to the presence of signal coming from the AV
amplifier. Put the switch ON/OFF on AUTO or ON position.
OFF
■
■ CROSSOVER: adjust the potentiometer on 150 Hz.
VOLUME: the adjustment of the volume will depend upon
■
room positioning, type of amplifiers... With Eole SYSTEM the
average position is on a "12 AM" position. For an optimum
adjustment of the volume, we advise you to carry out it start-
ing from a stereo source (CD). Then use the TEST TONE of your
AV amplifier to adjust the level of channel SUBWOOFER/LFE.
■ PHASE: usually it is necessary to position the potentiometer
on 0°, however 2 positions can be used 0° and 180 °.
- adjust the potentiometer on 0° when the subwoofer and the
front speakers are positioned at the same distance of the lis-
tening area.
- adjust the potentiometer on 180° when the subwoofer is
positioned 5 ft (1.5m) ahead or behind the front speakers.
