Congratulations!The HTB-405 Home Theatre System will make watchingmovies at home more fun than ever. To connect your speak-ers to the receiver follow the instructions on this sheet. Tolearn how to operate your receiver please read and follow theinstruction manual included in the receiver’s box. If you’realso connecting other equipment, such as a TV, VCR, DVDplayer, CD player or other source component, use the receiv-er’s manual in combination with the manuals that came withthose components.Placing Your SpeakersPlace the speakers as shown in the diagram below. Whileyou’re setting the speakers up, keep these points in mind:• If the subwoofer causes discoloration of the TV picture,move it away from the TV until the discoloration disap-pears.• Since the center speaker is magnetically shielded, youcan place it right on top of the TV without worrying aboutpicture discoloration.• You can hang the speakers on the wall using heavy-dutypicture hangers.• Placing the subwoofer next to a wall yields more deepbass output than placing it away from a wall. Placing thesubwoofer in a corner yields the deepest bass outputoverall.Connecting Your SpeakersIImmppoorrttaanntt:: DDoo nnoott pplluugg tthhee rreecceeiivveerr’’ss ppoowweerr ccoorrdd iinnttoo AACC oouutt-lleettss uunnttiill yyoouu hhaavvee pprrooppeerrllyy ccoonnnneecctteedd aallll ooff tthhee ssppeeaakkeerrss..Connect the speakers as shown in the main diagram.In each case, connect the colored speaker wire to corre-sponding terminals on the speaker and receiver.To make connecting the speakers easier, we have color-coded the speaker wire and the terminals on the speakers,labeled the terminals on the receiver, and pre-stripped theinsulation from the ends of the wire. DO NOT PUSH THEWIRE TOO FAR INTO THE SPEAKER TERMINALS AS THIS WILLNOT ALLOW THE WIRE TO MAKE PROPER CONTACT.Setting Up Your ReceiverThe receiver has a Quick Setup procedure that makes thiseasy. After you’ve made all of the connections, follow thesesteps. (You’ll be using the remote control):Q u i c k C o n n e c t G u i d eH T B - 4 0 5Balancing the SpeakersYour receiver comes with the speaker volume settings pre-balanced. If you have positioned the speakers as shown inthe diagram your system will create a spacious surroundsound environment right out of the box with no furtheradjustment required.If your room is arranged differently than shown in the dia-gram, or if you simply want to fine-tune your system’s perfor-mance, you can easily change the volumes of the individualspeakers to get a better balance:1. Press the SETUP button 8 times. The display will read“AUTO”.2. Rock the MULTI CONTROL joystick forward once. The displaywill change to “MANUAL”.3. Press the SETUP button repeatedly until the speaker youwant to adjust appears on the display. You will hear testnoise through the speaker.4. Rock the MULTI CONTROL joystick forward to increase thespeaker’s volume, rock it backward to decrease thespeaker’s volume.5. Do not be concerned with the volume level readout onthe display while you’re adjusting the speakers—this is forreference purposes only. However, once you have bal-anced all the speakers you should write each speaker’svolume setting down here for reference:6. Press the SETUP button on the remote 5 times to exit thesetup mode.Setting the Speaker DistancesThis last step adjusts the timing of all the speakers so thattheir sound arrives at the listening location at the proper time.1. Measure the distance from each speaker to your seat.Write the distances down.2. Press the SETUP button on the remote 11 times. The dis-play will read “10FT 3.0M”, and the left and right speakericons will flash.3. Rock the MULTI CONTROL joystick forward or backward untilthe display matches the distance from your left and rightspeakers to your listening position.4. Press the SETUP button again and repeat step 3 for thecenter speaker, and again for the surround speakers.5. When you’ve finished setting the speaker distances,press the SETUP button 2 times to exit the setup mode.If you have any questions about your new system, please contact our Customer Service Department at (800) KENWOOD or visit our Web site at www.kenwoodusa.com((HHTTBB-550055 QQuuiicckk-CCoonnnneecctt GGuuiiddee oonn ootthheerr ssiiddee))LLEEFFTTFFRROONNTTSSUUBB-WWOOOOFFEERRRRIIGGHHTTSSUURRRROOUUNNDDLLEEFFTTSSUURRRROOUUNNDDCCEENNTTEERRRRIIGGHHTTFFRROONNTT
