How can I break-in the TK Series speakers?

Allow 10-15 hours of listening time to adequately break-in the TK Series speakers. As the speakers break-in, the driver suspension will loosen. The result of break-in will be an increase in low frequency response, improved definition.

How do I care for and clean my TK series speakers?

To maintain speaker appearance, it is recommended to wipe them down with a clean damp soft cloth. To clean dust from the grille cloth, use a vacuum with a brush attachment.

How do I attach speaker wires when using a banana jack?

When using a banana jack to attach speaker wires to the binding post terminals, remove the black and red plastic protective inserts from the terminals. To do this, loosen the binding nut from the terminal by turning the nut counter-clockwise until the nut is completely removed from the terminal. Remove the plastic inserts by pulling them straight out, then replace the nut to the terminal and turn clockwise. Insert the banana jack into the hole provided in the top of

How do I attach speaker wires when not using a banana jack?

If not using a banana jack, simply loosen the binding nut to allow the hole in the side of the terminal to become exposed. Strip ¼-inch of the insulation from the end of the speaker wire and insert the exposed wire end into the now exposed hole in the side of the terminal. Tighten the binding nut by turning the nut clockwise until the speaker wire is secured. Repeat for the other speaker wire(s) as necessary.

Where should I place my front main speakers?

As a starting point, place your left and right TK-5CT Tower Speakers at least 15 inches from the wall and 7 feet apart from each other. The distance from the listening position to each speaker should be close to the distance that separates the two main speakers. Angling the speakers inward towards the listening position may give a more spacious and realistic sound stage.

Where should I place the center channel speaker?

The TK-515C Center Channel Speaker should be placed in the center between both left and right main speakers. Often this positioning dictates placing the speaker either directly above or below a television monitor. Since the TK-515C is video shielded, the center speaker may be placed in close proximity to a television without cause for concern.

Where should I place the rear surround speakers?

The TK-5C 2-way Bookshelf Speakers may be placed either above, behind or to the sides of the listening position. The listening position should be centered between the surround speakers. For best performance you may want to experiment with angling the surround speakers either towards or away from the listening position.

Where should I place the subwoofer?

Placement of the subwoofer will largely determine quality, quantity, and extension of the bass frequencies within your listening room. Bass frequencies are reinforced by close room boundaries. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will make the subwoofer sound louder and boost the very lowest frequencies. Placing the subwoofer away from walls will provide the least reinforcement, making the bass sound subjectively thinner than if the woofer were close to a wall. Good results can usually be obtained by placing a subwoofer along a wall 1-3 feet from a corner. Experiment with subwoofer placement and the sub-amplifier controls to achieve the proper bass balance.

What should I do if there is no sound from the speakers?

Check all connections at the amplifier and speakers.

What should I do if there is no sound from one speaker?

Check the entire system for proper polarity and make sure the speaker wire is connected at both the speaker and the amplifier, observing proper polarity.

What should I do if there is very little bass and/or imaging?

Activate the proper selector on the amplifier and place the balance control in the center.
