Important!
To ensure the best performance, observe polarities when making speaker connections, (as shown in the illustration).
Connect each + terminal on the back of the amplifi er or receiver to the respective + (red) terminal on each speaker. Connect
the – (black) terminals in the same way. If the connections are not made correctly it can cause poor bass response and imag-
ing. Also, to avoid short circuits that may damage your equipment be careful not to let any of the bare wires touch each other.
Operation
When using the Horizon speakers in a Dolby® Digital or DTS™ home theater system, make sure all speakers are set to “Small”.
When using the system in a Dolby Pro Logic® home theater system, make sure the receiver’s center channel mode is set to
“Normal.”
Some Dolby Digital-equipped receivers/processors off er diff erent setup options for each source or surround mode (e.g., CD-
stereo, videotape, Dolby Digital, Pro Logic). In each case, follow your equipment’s instructions to ensure that the subwoofer
output is turned on and that the speakers are set to “Small” in each mode.
The HS 450 and 460 can be set to “Large” and may produce a more full sound by doing so. Try both settings and use the one
that sounds best with the broadest range of source material.
If your receiver has adjustable crossover settings, we recommend the subwoofer crossover be set between 80Hz and 120Hz.
Refer to the owner’s manual for your AV receiver for any additional recommendations on system operation.
NOTE: A Boston Acoustics powered subwoofer will add impact and realism to both music and fi lm soundtracks. Contact
your Boston Acoustics dealer for recommendations on subwoofer models for your application.
Wires can be routed through the feet and
the channels in the back of the speaker
