Introduction

NOTE: Check your system immediately. If it has been damaged in transit, re-

port the damage immediately by calling your AR dealer.

Please follow the directions in this manual to achieve the best performance from your

system.

The hook-up and operation of the subwoofer is the same for a home theater surround

system and a stereo music system. The subwoofer has a built-in amplifier, making it

compatible with any sound system. In addition, the subwoofer's crossover networks

send bass-only signals to its built-in amplifier, allowing the subwoofer to add extra

bass to the output from your other speakers.

To simplify the instructions in this manual, the main speakers are referred to as the

“front speakers”. The AV receiver, stereo receiver, or integrated amplifier is referred

to as the “receiver.”

Warnings

We recommend that you not operate your speakers with the bass, treble, and loudness

controls set to full boost. This will place undue strain on the electronics and speakers

and could damage them.

The volume control setting on your receiver is not a specific indication of the overall

loudness level of the speakers. The only important consideration is the loudness level

at which the system can be played, regardless of where the volume control is set.

Whenever changing cables or pulling plugs, ALWAYS TURN OFF ALL EQUIP-

MENT. This prevents transients from entering the speakers and prevents electrical en-

ergy from reaching you.

Keep all connections out of the reach of children.

Surround System Configuration

The optimum listening position is at the tip of the “stereo triangle”. 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 effi-

ciently when 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-ab-

sorbing elements such as upholstered furniture, carpets and so on. Try to avoid placing

sound-absorbing obstacles between the speakers and your listening position, as this

will muffle the sound and impair your listening pleasure. Your HD510 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 from the television to avoid inter-

ference to the set’s picture. Installing the speakers at least 1 foot away from the side

walls will prevent exaggerated “booming” bass and produce more balanced, detailed

sound reproduction. If possible, the speakers should be installed with the tweeters on

the same level as the listener's ears. If you install the speakers in a wall unit, make sure

the fronts of the speakers are flush with the front of the wall unit. Rear speakers should

be placed approx at ear level or slightly higher. The center channel speaker should be

placed above or below the television.

Connecting the Subwoofer

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging your equipment, make sure the subwoofer

and all components are turned off before making any connections.

Subwoofer Placement

Placement of your subwoofer will dramatically affect its performance. Your AR sub-

woofer is designed to work best when placed on the floor within 15 feet of your front

speakers. For detailed accurate bass response, place your subwoofer near a wall, but

away from a corner. If you prefer fuller, more accentuated bass, try placing your sub-

woofer directly in a corner. This will substantially increase bass response. When pos-

sible, place the subwoofer close to your system's front speakers to keep wire or cable

runs short. See “Surround System Configuration” on page 5 for more information on

speaker placement.

Since low frequency sound is omni-directional, the subwoofer can be placed anywhere

in the room. Use the Low Pass Frequency control and the Phase switch to adjust the

output. Use the subwoofer's Level control to adjust the volume relative to the place-

ment (this may require resetting the subwoofer's polarity switch). See “Subwoofer

Controls & Connections” on page 8 for details on adjusting these settings.

Connecting the LFE (Low Frequency Effects) Input

Connect a single audio cable from your receiver's LFE output into the Subwoofer LFE

input. This input bypasses the subwoofers internal crossover. When connected to the

LFE input on the subwoofer, you will have no control of the Low Pass Frequency Con-

trol (crossover). The “Large” position sends LFE signals to all speakers selected

“Large”. The “Small” position sends all bass to the LFE output directly into the sub-

woofer and no bass to the surround speakers. The “small” setting is recommended for

the HD510 speakers due to their size and low-frequency output. For setting the Small

and Large speakers parameters, please refer to your receivers bass management section

in the owners manual.

NOTE: The LFE channel is not a subwoofer channel. It carries low bass effects

to any speaker that can handle low frequency content through the receiver's

bass management controls. If you would like control of the crossover, you can

connect the LFE output from your receiver directly into the Line-In inputs of

the subwoofer.

Connecting the Subwoofer Line-In

If your receiver does not have LFE output, but has a subwoofer output, connect an au-

dio cable from the Subwoofer output on your receiver to the Line-In inputs on the sub-

woofer. Note that the subwoofer has a left and right input, allowing it to receive stereo

bass signals. If your receiver has only one output, you can run a single audio cable into

either the left or right input on the subwoofer. Another option is to use a “Y” cable to

connect both the left and right inputs on the subwoofer.

Connecting the Speaker Level (High Level) Inputs

For older receivers with no LFE or Subwoofer outputs, run speaker wire from your re-

ceiver's front left and right speaker level outputs to the left and right speaker level in-

puts on the subwoofer. Connect the front left and right surround speakers in parallel

with the subwoofer.

NOTE: To avoid possible output problems, do NOT use the "speakers B" out-

put to attach the subwoofer to a receiver.

IMPORTANT: All speakers in a system must be connected with the same po-

larity. Polarity is indicated by a color stripe on the insulation, by ridges mold-

ed into the insulation, or by the colors of the wire - one copper and one silver.

Strip the insulation from the speaker wire ends to reveal the bare conductors

before connecting to a speaker, subwoofer or receiver. Always connect the red

(+) terminal on the receiver to the red (+) terminal on the Subwoofer, and con-

nect the black (-) terminal on the receiver to the black (-) terminal on the Sub-

woofer. The same is true for hooking up the Receiver outputs to the Front

speakers: red (+) to red and black (-) to black.

Subwoofer Controls & Connections

The amplifier for the subwoofer is located on the bottom of the subwoofer cabinet. The

speaker level inputs, line level inputs, LFE input and output, power switch, AC power

cord and fuse are located on the amplifier panel, shown below.

• Power cord: Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet.

• POWER (AUTO ON/OFF): Move this switch to turn the AC supply OFF/

ON. When AUTO ON is selected, the Subwoofer remains in the stand-by

mode until an audio signal is detected. After a few minutes without an

audio signal the Subwoofer automatically goes into the stand-by mode.

The green LED indicator light, located above the Power switch, illumi-

nates when the amplifier is turned on.

• Fuse: The 250v 1.6A (AGC Type) is located on the amplifier panel on the

bottom of the Subwoofer cabinet. This fuse protects against internal and

external faults. If the Power switch is ON but the power indicator LED

remains unlit, the fuse should be replaced. To replace the fuse, unplug the

power cord from the AC outlet, then unscrew the center piece and replace

the fuse.
