Installation of Self-Adhesive Rubber Pads:
If the speaker is to be placed on a surface (such as a tabletop or shelf) rather than wall-mounted, the enclosed self-adhesive rubber pads are to be attached to the bottom of the speaker cabinet in their designated recessed locations. If the speaker is to be wall-mounted, the four selfadhesive rubber pads should be attached to the back of the speaker, as shown in the bottom right diagram. When angle-mounting the AAS36AW, only two of the rubber pads are required, and they need to be

installed on the back of the loudspeaker, near the lower edge, so that they are located between the back of the speaker and the mounting surface. Please see the enclosed installation template for more details.

Note: The threaded inserts on the
bottom of the speakers are to be used only with Audioaccess accessories that have been developed specifically for the AAS36AW and that may become available at a future date. Do not attempt to install bolts or any non-Audioaccess brackets or accessories to these threads, as this might damage the speaker and dislodge the insert.

SPEAKER CONNECTIONS
Connection Tips
ing all of the speakers in your system with the correct polarity remains equally important in order to preserve the proper ambience and directionality of the program material. To use the binding-post speaker terminals, unscrew the collar until the pass-through hole in the center post is visible under the collar. Insert the bare end of the wire through this hole; then screw the collar down until the connection is tight. The hole in the center of each collar is intended for use with banana-type connectors. To comply with European CE certification, these holes are blocked with plastic inserts at the

Speaker Outputs

Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding (+) and (�) terminals. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the amplifier and (�) on the speaker to (�) on the amplifier. Wiring �out of phase� results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo image. With the advent of multichannel surround sound systems, connect-

point of manufacture. Use of bananatype connectors requires the removal of the inserts. Do not remove these inserts if you are using the product in an area covered by European CE certification.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If there is no sound from any of the speakers:
� Check that receiver/amplifier is on and that a source is playing. � Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier. � Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, or touching each other. � If more than one pair of main speakers is being used, check the minimum impedance requirements of your receiver/amplifier. � Turn off all electronics and switch the speaker in question with one of the other speakers that is working correctly. Turn everything back on, and determine whether the problem has followed the speaker, or has remained in the same channel. If the problem is in the same channel, the source of the problem is most likely with your receiver or amplifier, and you should consult the owner�s manual for that product for further information. If the problem has followed the speaker, consult your dealer for further assistance or, if that is not possible, visit www.audioaccess.com for further information.

If there is no sound coming from one speaker:
� Check the �Balance� control on your receiver/amplifier. � Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers. Make sure no wires are touching other wires or terminals and creating a short circuit. � Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured. � In Dolby* Digital or DTS® modes, make sure that the receiver/processor is configured so that the speaker in question is enabled.

If the system plays at low volumes but shuts off as volume is increased:
� Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers. � Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, or touching each other.
