5.1 AND 7.1 CHANNEL

CONNECTION OPTIONS

Depending on your home theater

receiver/processor, you will be using a 5.1 or

7.1 channel hookup. If you have a 5.1 receiver,

connect the left and right Surround channels

to your F/X Wireless Surround (there are no

5.1 Surround Back channels).

If you are using a 7.1 channel receiver connect

both the left and right Surround Back, and the

left and right Surround channels.

SETTING P YO R F/X

WIRELESS S RRO ND

F/X Wireless Surround Position Setting:

Your F/X Wireless Surround can provide a credi-

ble multi-channel surround experience from a

range of placement locations within your media

space but should optimally be placed behind the

seating area. Choose FLOOR, TABLE (ear height

of +/- 2 feet) or SHELF (2 feet or more above ear

height) in accordance with the vertical place-

ment of the loudspeaker cabinet.

Due to the special nature of its complex radiation

pattern, the top surface of the loudspeaker cabi-

net should be unobstructed and facing towards

the ceiling. The long axis of the cabinet should

be parallel to the long dimension of your home

theater’s video screen and centered behind the

listening area.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Manual vs. Automated Loudspeaker Setup

Many new home theater receivers and preamp/

processors feature microphone-based automated

setup systems. Due to the special nature of the

F/X Wireless Surround’s operating principles,

we strongly recommend not using an automated

speaker calibration system for Surround and

Surround Back channel loudspeakers.

Follow The Instructions Below To Set p

Your F/X Wireless Surround Manually.

NOTE: S RRO ND BACK CHANNELS ARE NOT

APPLICABLE TO A 5.1 SYSTEM.

Gain:

For optimal performance, channel gain (level)

settings on Dolby Digital receivers/surround

sound processors for the Surround and Surround

Back channels should match each other.

Consult your receiver’s owners manual on

how to set channel levels.

1. Surround channel gain should be set so that

the sound level in the seating area matches

or slightly exceeds the sound levels of the

front channels.

2. Surround Back channel gain should be set to

match the gain setting so determined for the

Surround Channels.

Example: If +3dB is the appropriate

channel level to achieve Surround channel

sound levels that match the Front channels,

then Surround Back channel level should also

be set to +3dB. Note that Surround Back test

tones will be quieter than the Surround

channel when their gain settings match.

NOTE: By design, Surround Back channels

are attenuated (not as loud) relative to

Surround channels for any given channel level

setting. For optimal performance, always set

Surround Back channel gain to match Surround

channel gain.

F/X WIRELESS SURROUND

TELEVISION

SETTING P YO R F/X

WIRELESS S RRO ND (continued)

For most home theater receivers and processors,

“Distance” settings govern channel delay for op-

timal performance from Dolby Digital 5.1 and 7.1

sources. For the F/X Wireless Surround, you

need to determine the actual distance from the

listening area to the loudspeaker cabinet and

from the loudspeaker cabinet to the side walls.

Consult your receiver/processor owners manual

for proper distance setting procedures.

For Symmetrical Rooms

For symmetrical rooms, whereby the distance

between the loudspeaker cabinet and major

reflecting surfaces (side walls, or large pieces of

furniture) are approximately equal, the distance

setting for the Surround channels appears in

Table 1 (below).

The distance setting for Surround Back

channels should simply match the actual

distance of the loudspeaker behind the

listening area (“D” in figure 1).

Example: Table 1 shows that Surround Left and

Surround Right delay should be set to 30 feet

for a 20 foot wide symmetrical room when the

F/X Wireless Surround is placed 2 feet behind

the listening area.

NOTE: If your room’s dimensions and loudspeaker placement falls between or beyond the room width

and/or placement distance values in Tables 1 or 2, then you may interpolate from the tables accordingly.

NOTE: Some home theater receivers require setting speaker delay in milliseconds rather than speaker

distance in feet. If you have such a receiver, you may read the values in Tables 1 and 2 as time delay

in milliseconds.
