If you are unsure of how to proceed at any point, get a
professional involved IMMEDIATELY to avoid expensive, time consuming mistakes and errors.
-
Follow Monster
Cable Hookup and Learning
diagrams to connect your HDTV receiver,
DVD player, other AV source components, speakers, subwoofer,
etc (using the best possible type of audio, video, and
speaker cables) to the appropriate inputs and outputs on the
back of the surround receiver.
-
Place/mount rear
surround and/or bookshelf speakers on speaker stands or wall
mounts.
-
Plug all AC
power cords into either the switched and un-switched power
outlets on the back of the receiver or the power center.
-
Run the video
monitor out from your receiver and let the cable dangle to
about where it will be connected to the back of your
television. Once connected to the back of the TV, this
will send all video signals through the surround receiver
and back out to a single video input on your television.
-
Place your
television into the furniture, connecting the dangling video
cable into the appropriate video input on back of the
television. Now your surround receiver can send out
all video source signals (and on screen display, if
applicable) to a single video cable input on the back of
your TV.
-
Plug in and
power up your power center. Power up individual
components.
-
Program any
learning or programmable remotes to minimize remote control
juggling act.
-
Once you've got
all your surround sound speakers and subwoofer
where you want them located, run the TEST TONE function on
your surround sound receiver to perfectly balance the sound
pressure levels of all channels within the room. We
recommend that you use a sound level meter, or SPL meter, to
achieve
the most accurate settings within your balanced speaker levels.
-
DON'T move the
television stand or entertainment center permanently back
until you are sure that everything is connected and
operating properly.
-
ALWAYS get help
when moving or re-locate heavy and bulky electronic
equipment and furniture!
