How to set your Dolby Digital receiver
Your VCS-10

or VCS-30
®
Series II speakers are compatible with
the output from Dolby Digital receivers. Take special care to set
the channel output on the Dolby Digital screen menu to SMALL for
both the center speaker and surround speakers.
Follow the receiver owner’s guide instructions for using the
receiver test tone to verify your connections and to adjust the vol
-
ume levels of the speakers.
If the sound is interrupted
The VCS-10 Center Speaker and VCS-30 Series II Center/Sur-
round Speaker System feature an advanced automatic electronic
protection circuit to prevent speaker damage due to an overload.
When the center channel speaker detects an overload, the protec-
tion circuit intermittently shuts down and resets the speaker a
fraction of a second later, until the overload is cleared. Intermittent
play will continue for the duration of the overload.
If you hear this interruption, turn down the volume to relieve the
overload. You will hear the speaker resume normal play when the
volume is set at a safe level.
Note: The overload problem described here should occur only if
the receiver is overdriven and sending a distorted signal, or when
the center speaker is driven by an amplifier rated well above the
100 watts per channel maximum listed in
“Compatibility” on
page 15.
