INTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting Tannoy loudspeakers developed in the UK by our dedicated team of design engineers. Tannoy is the brand of choice for discriminating music lovers around the world. Musical excellence is designed into our loudspeakers from the start. Careful selection of the very best components combined with strict quality control procedures in the production process ensures this level of excellence is maintained. To gain maximum performance from your loudspeakers, please take time to read this owner s manual in full before installation. Once you have set up your new loudspeakers please complete and return the registration document or register you product online at www.tannoy.com - this does not limit your legal rights. Loudspeakers are electromechanical devices that run-in through use; performance will therefore improve after an initial period of 24 hrs use. Once they have been further run-in over a longer period, there will be clear enhancement of the imaging, mid-band quality and bass performance characteristics. We are confident that you will continue to enjoy your new Tannoy loudspeakers for many years to come. HTS101 XP HTS101 XP SET UP GUIDE This high performance Tannoy loudspeaker system has been built and tested with care and precision to provide first class performance and reliable operation. To ensure maximum benefit from ownership and for reasons of safety, please read through all the information in this owner s manual before operating and using this system for the first time. Tannoy HTS101 XP systems are primarily designed for use with the following equipment: An AV or Home Cinema Receiver with integral 5.1 decoder, 5 channel power amplifier and a dedicated LFE or subwoofer line level output. An integrated DVD player with 5.1 decoder, 5 channel power amplifier and a dedicated LFE or subwoofer line level output. The speakers may be positioned in either portrait or landscape orientation, with the grille badge adjusted accordingly. The centre channel is often more conveniently located in landscape format. WARNING: Strong magnetic field Due to the powerful drive unit magnet, do not place within 1 metre (3 foot) of a cathode ray tube (CRT) television or monitor. There is no issue with plasma, LCD and LED devices. Each speaker provides a separate function. The functions are: Centre Speaker which carries most of the dialogue or solo performances. Front Left and Front Right Speakers which carry special effects and left/right stereo information. Left Rear and Right Rear Speakers which carry special effects information. In addition, the TS2.8 subwoofer provides very low frequency sounds and special effects. The subwoofer supports low frequencies for all 5 audio channels. Please refer to the separate Owner s Manual provided with the subwoofer for full instructions. HTS101 XP MANUAL_03

ASSEMBLING THE CENTRE & SATELLITE (HTS101) WALL BRACKETS Fit the wall brackets to the smaller satellite speakers if you wish to wall mount them. (See Fig. 1) Locate the appropriate screws and lock washers in the accessory pack - 2 screws for each wall bracket. Locate the hex key tool which you will use to tighten the hex socket head screws. Each wall mounting bracket has two halves and a long pin which holds the two halves together to act as the hinge. One half is mounted on the speaker using 2 screws and the other half is mounted on the wall using suitable screws and wall plugs. It is your responsibility to ensure that the wall and the screw fixing method are both strong enough to support the weight of the satellite speakers. See the specification page for weights. Separate each bracket into two halves by removing the long hinge pin. Fit one half of the bracket with the large holes to the speakers using the screws and lock washers provided. The threaded hinge pin hole in the bracket should face the terminals on the back of the speaker. Fit the 2 halves of the brackets to the centre speaker with the threaded hinge pin hole in the bracket facing the terminals on the back of the satellite. This orientation will allow the hinge pins to be fitted from either side of the cabinet when mounting to the wall. Fit the other half of the bracket(s) to the wall using a suitable fixing method for the type of wall material - seek professional advice if unsure. Position the satellite or centre speaker (with half the wall bracket(s) fitted) against the other half of the wall bracket already fitted to the wall. Line up the brackets so that the long screw pin can be inserted vertically from below the satellite or horizontally from the sides of the centre speaker and screwed up lightly. The speakers will now swing in the horizontal plane (vertical plane for the centre) for best aural and visual effect. Tighten the long pin to finish. To remove the speakers from the wall to access the wiring terminals, remove the long pin whilst carefully supporting the weight of the speaker. Alternatively, self adhesive feet are provided for shelf mounting. 04_ HTS101 XP MANUAL

5. POSITIONING THE HTS101 XP SPEAKERS Place the speakers in positions relative to the viewing screen in your room. (See Fig. 2) Centre speaker close to, and either above or below the screen. Front Left speaker 1 to 2 metres (approximately 3 to 6 foot) to the left of the screen. Front Right speaker 1 to 2 metres to the right of the screen Try to get all 3 front speakers to be in the same plane - the same distance from the viewing position and at least 300 mm (12 inches) away from any back wall which may be present behind the screen. Left Rear speaker 1 to 2 metres behind the viewing position and to the left. HTS101 XP Right Rear speaker 1 to 2 metres behind the viewing position and to the right. Viewed from above, Front Left, Front Right, Left Rear and Right Rear speakers should form a rectangle with the viewing position in the centre of the rectangle. Place the subwoofer on the floor alongside the wall nearest to the screen. The exact position isn t critical and can be adjusted once the system is up and running. Refer to subwoofer Owner s Manual. This is an ideal positioning set-up, in practice there will be inevitable compromises depending on your room layout and the furniture within it. Refer to your decoder or AV Home Cinema receiver instructions for further advice in compensating for non-ideal situations. 6. CONNECTING THE HTS SPEAKERS TO YOUR A/V RECEIVER OR AMPLIFER Connect the speakers to the AV Home Cinema receiver or separate amplifier terminals. (See Fig. 3) Measure out suitable lengths of cable, to reach between the speakers and your AV or Home Cinema receiver speaker output terminals. Wire up the system connecting each speaker to the appropriate terminals on the receiver or amplifier making quite sure that cables connect red to red terminals (+ to +) and black to black terminals, (- to -). Take care to distinguish between left and right channels, and the front and rear channels, as seen from the viewing position. This is a very important stage in setting up. Getting things wrong at this stage is the most likely reason for disappointing results when troubleshooting the system. 7. CARE OF CABINET The cabinets should only be cleaned with a dry cloth or with a light application of quality non-silicone furniture polish. HTS101 XP MANUAL_05
