Making Connections

(continued)

An alternative connection method, instead
of those described in steps 1 to 3, is to
attach standard banana plugs to the
speaker wires and plug them into the ends
of the speaker connectors. See Figure 18
(previous page).

OPTIMIZING
PERFORMANCE

It is highly recommended to make front
panel control adjustments before installing
the grille. Experiment with settings and
carefully listen to ensure that the proper
adjustments have been made.

To optimize the I20/I30 for best perform-
ance:

1. Refer to the Loudspeaker Placement

section that begins on page 10 for
information about loudspeaker instal-
lation.

2. Set the High Frequency Level control to

0. (Different listening rooms may
require other High Frequency Level
control settings).

3. Set the Low Frequency Boundary

Compensation control to the appropri-
ate position.

• Select

the

off setting if the speak-

er is mounted at least four feet
away from adjacent walls or
boundaries.

• Select

the

on setting if the speaker

is mounted close to one (or possibly
two) or more adjacent walls or
boundaries. In the “on” position,
system output is reduced below
approximately 400Hz to offset the
increased low frequency support
due to the boundary.

4. Begin playback of a familiar music or

film source.
