DSP5200C
Unpacking
Before you begin installation you should ensure that
your DSP loudspeakers are the correct voltage for your
local AC supply. If they are not, do not try to install
them, and contact your dealer.
You should not make any connections to the DSP
loudspeakers, or to any other component in your
system, while the AC power supply is connected and
switched on.
Care when unpacking
Take great care when unpacking or repacking the DSP
loudspeakers that you do not put undue pressure on
the face containing the drive units, as they may be
damaged if pressed.

Each pair of DSP loudspeakers is supplied with the
following components:
The DSP loudspeakers complete with grilles.

To fit the feet (DSP5500 and
DSP5500C only)
The feet ensure that the loudspeakers have a stable
base, and can be adjusted to allow for uneven floors.
Use the spikes for carpeted floors; they are designed
to penetrate the pile without damaging or flattening the
carpet. Use the protectors for solid floors.
Each DSP loudspeaker needs four feet, fitted as
follows:
Fit a lock nut to each foot, leaving about 2mm of
thread between the lock nut and foot.
Screw each foot into the threads on the bottom of
the loudspeaker. Do not fully tighten the lock nut at
this stage.
On solid floors fit the protectors over the spikes.
When all four feet have been fitted, carefully set the
DSP loudspeakers upright in their playing positions
and remove the rest of the packaging.
Adjust the feet until the speakers are stable, and
then tighten the lock nuts.
To fit the rubber bumpons
(DSP5500HC only)
Attach four bumpons to the underside of each
speaker, using the self-adhesive pads.
Tightening the drive units
The DSP loudspeakers typically take about two weeks
of normal use for the drive units to settle. It is therefore
recommended that you tighten the mounting bolts
on each drive unit every few days during this period.
Tighten the bolts in symmetrically opposite pairs using
the 3mm hex wrench supplied.
You should then check and if necessary re-tighten the
drive units every few years.
