Positioning/Initial Set Up
The RS W12 should now be sited in the most suitable position, preferably not
directly in the corner of a room as this may cause excessive bass boom. Once a
desirable position is achieved it is important to check if the cables are long
enough to reach comfortably without being under tension. Leave the RS W12
unplugged until the installation procedure is completed. The optimal control
settings willdepend entirely on your systemconfiguration. For initial trials set the
controls as follows:
Volumecontrol Should be settominimum
