PL900 SPEAKER SYSTEM:
Contents of Carton:
1 Tower Speaker
HOW TO PLACE YOUR SYSTEM COMPONENTS: The optimum listening
position is at the tip of the so-called "stereo triangle"(Fig.1). The equilibrium
between the right and left stereo channels is best in this position, providing the
most balanced and realistic sound reproduction.Your AR speakers will operate
most efficiently when they are located in parts of the room with "hard"
acoustics, i.e., areas including hard, smooth surfaces such as walls and wooden
furniture. The speakers should radiate the sound from this hard area into the
"softer" parts of the room containing sound-absorbing elements such as
upholstered furniture, carpets and so on. Make sure that there are no
sound-absorbing obstacles between the speakers and your listening position,
as this will muffle the sound and impair your listening pleasure.Your PL900
Series speakers are fully shielded for use in audio/video applications. This
allows you to place any of the speakers next to the television without affecting
picture quality. If you are using other speakers, be sure to locate them at least 3
feet away from the television to avoid interference to the set's picture. The
speakers should be installed at least 1 foot away from the side walls. This
prevents exaggerated "booming" bass and helps to produce more balanced,
detailed sound reproduction.If possible, the speakers should be installed so that
the tweeters are on the same level as the listener's ears. If you install the
speakers in a wall unit, take care to ensure that the fronts of the speakers are
flush with the front of the wall unit.
CONNECTING THE SURROUND SPEAKERS: Strip the insulation from the
connection cable ends and twist the ends tightly or tin them with solder. Then
insert the ends in the connection terminals and secure them. Caution: Take
care to ensure that the speaker cables are connected with the correct
polarity!Connect the negative amplifier output terminal (black) to the negative
connection terminal of the AR speaker (also black). Proceed in the same way to
connect the positive terminals, which are normally red. Standard speaker
connection cables normally have a colored marking or indentation in the surface
of the insulation to distinguish the two leads from one another.
IMPORTANT: Always connect the red (+) terminal on the Receiver to the red (+)
terminal on the corresponding Speaker i.e. Front Left. Connect the
corresponding black (-) terminal on the Receiver to the black (-) terminal on the
same Speaker. Continue until all of the speakers have been connected in this manner.

binding posts making sure the positive and
negative wires are connected properly. Failure to
match the polarity will result in the
speakers being out of phase.
TOWER WALL-MOUNTING: (fig 3)
STEP 1 – After marking the level location on the
Round Nut
wall, mount the wall plate to the wall
using the proper hardware for your type of wall.
Make sure your screws are securely mounted into
