[. . . ] (0­0. 6m) The EC35 center channel loudspeaker is designed to complement all of the Northridge E Series loudspeakers. It is the ideal way to re-create the cinematic experience in your home. ® NORTHRIDGE E SERIES E30, E50, E60, E80, E90, E100, EC35 TM OWNER'S GUIDE SPEAKER CONNECTIONS The hole in the center of each collar is intended for use with banana-type connectors. [. . . ] It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (­) on the speaker to (­) on the amplifier. Wiring "out of phase" results in thin sound, weak bass and poor imaging. To use the binding-post speaker terminals, unscrew the colored collar until the pass-through hole in the center post is visible. Insert the bare end of the wire through this hole; then screw the collar down until the connection is tight. High Frequency ­ + ­ + Low Frequency ­ + Amplifier Bi-Wire Connections TROUBLESHOOTING If there is no sound from any of the speakers: If the system plays at low volumes but shuts off as volume is increased: If there is no sound from the surround speakers: · Check that receiver/amplifier is on and that a source is playing. · Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier. If there is no sound coming from one speaker: · Check all wires and connections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers. · If more than one pair of main speakers is being used, check the minimum impedance requirements of your receiver/amplifier. If there is no (or low) bass output: · Check all wires and connections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers. · Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier and its surround sound features. · Make sure the movie or TV show you are watching is recorded in a surround sound mode. If it is not, check to see whether your receiver/ amplifier has other surround modes you may use. · In Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure your receiver/processor is configured so that the surround speakers are enabled. · Review the operation of your DVD player and the jacket of your DVD to make sure that the DVD features the desired Dolby Digital or DTS mode, and that you have properly selected that mode using both the DVD player's menu and the DVD disc's menu. · Check the "Balance" control on your receiver/ amplifier. · Check all wires and connections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers.
