Instruction Manual
The terminals themselves are designed to allow the use of very heavy
speaker wire or connectors. Be sure to tighten them securely, but don't
over-tighten them.
WARNING: To prevent risk of electrical shock or damage to your
equipment, always switch off the amplifier or receiver when making
any system connections.
You can connect your speakers by using a variety of audio connectors such
as banana plugs (single or double), pin connectors, spade lugs, etc., or you
can:
1. Remove .5" of insulation from each wire end.
2. Twist the stranded wire together, keeping the two ends
separate.
3. Place the appropriate wire through the appropriate
postholes in the connectors. These holes are revealed when
you loosen the connector's capscrew.
4. Screw down the capscrew tightly, but be careful not to over
tighten it.
5. Check the tightness of the capscrews 24 hours after hookup
and occasionally after that, as they can loosen over time.
We recommend that you check your local electrical codes to make sure that
you are not using improper connectors.
It's important to observe polarity while making speaker connections: red
(+) terminals on the amplifier to red (+) on the speaker, black (–) on the
amplifier to black (–) on the speaker. Look carefully at the wires you are
using and note that one of the conductors of each pair will typically be
identified by color, printing on the outer jacket, ridges on the outer jacket,
or a thread intertwined with the wire strands. By convention, the marked
wire is connected to the red (+) terminal.
Whether your are connecting a complete system,or adding a single speaker
component to your present system, the wiring should look like one of the
system wiring diagrams on pages 7 and 8.
WARNING: Before turning on the amplifier, be certain that no stray
wire strands are touching across any terminals as this might damage
your amplifier.
Finally, check the polarity of your front speakers by listening to some ste-
reo music with good bass content. If the sound seems"hollow", unusually
spread out, or seem to have weak mid-bass, recheck your connections for
proper polarity and correct any out of phase connections,if necessary.
System Setup
Bass Management
Some older surround sound decoders and receivers offer a choice of "Nor-
mal"or"Wide-band"modes for the center channel speaker.The Model 8200
C is designed to be used in the Normal mode.Additionally,digital processing
multi-channel systems provide a Bass Management menu,which typically
requires you to select between "Small" or "Large" speakers during system
set-up. Since these systems have been designed to work with a dedicated
subwoofer,please set all the speakers in Systems 6200 and 8200 to Small.

To set these controls, sit in the prime listening position and have someone
switch between the compensation choices,using well recorded dialogue or
musical instrument recordings. Choose whichever switch position sounds
most natural and real to you.
NOTE: Although these controls have been designed to compen-
sate for various acoustic room anomalies, we recommend that you
try them to hear the difference that they make in the sound of the
system. For any number of reasons, you may decide that you prefer
them set in a particular manner inconsistent with your room's acous-
tics, but sounds best to you. Experiment. It will be worth it.
