Speaker Break-In Your BP7000SC/BP7001SCs should sound good right out of the box; however, an extended break-in period of 40-60 hours or more of normal playing is required to reach full performance capability. Break-in allows the suspensions to work in and results in fuller bass, a more open "blossoming" midrange and smoother high frequency reproduction. Connecting Your Loudspeakers Connecting Your Speakers to Your Electronics Your BP7000SC/BP7001SCs may be connected in several different ways. There are two sets of speaker level (high level) 5-way binding posts. In addition, each speaker has an LFE input. This input can be used with Dolby Digital* and DTS* 5.1 (6.1, 7.1) decoders to separately feed the discrete "Low Frequency Effects" channel into each subwoofer (which then combines with the low bass present separately in the left or right channel signals). If desired, you may hook up your BP7000SC/BP7001SCs simply by running one set of speaker wires from your amplifier to each BP7000SC/BP7001SCs, or as complexly as bi-wiring the low/mid- and high-frequency section of each BP7000SC/ BP7001SCs in conjunction with running a separate low-level input to the LFE input of the subwoofer section of each speaker. Your BP7000SC/BP7001SCs will deliver exceptional performance no matter which hook-up method you use. The more complex methods are often chosen by advanced hobbyists to extract the last 1% of performance potential from the speakers, while most listeners use the simplest hook-ups which also deliver superb performance. Unlike a conventional system, where the subwoofer is driven only by an LFE subwoofer signal, the BP7000SC/ BP7001SCs are much more sophisticated and are driven by the left or right channel signal as well as the LFE signal. For optimum performance, please read through these instructions fully and follow them. * Registered Trademarks. 5
