ProCinema 600
Six-Piece
Surround Sound System
The Definitive Technology ProCinema 600 System consists
of
six speakers:
four ProMonitor® 600s, one ProCenter® 600 and one ProSub® 600. Normally two
of
the ProMonitor 600s will be used as front speakers and two will be used as side or
rear surround speakers. These speakers can be used with any surround decoding
technology; however, since they will most often be used with Dolby Digital*
receivers and decoders, the instruction manual is written for Dolby Digital hook-ups
(and DTS which is hooked up the same way).
If
you are using an earlier ProLogic'
receiver, please contact Definitive customer service for specific instructions that
apply to your system.

Wiring up Your Speakers to Your Home Theater Surround Receiver
There are many different ways to wire your ProCinema 600 System to your home
theater surround receiver. In order to simplify this process, we will describe the two
most common methods. Method
1,
which involves wiring your front left and right
ProMonitor 600s to your ProSub 600 and then wiring your ProSub 600 to your
receiver, is the preferred method in terms
of
sound quality - it will give you the
best blending between the satellite speakers and the sub as well
as
the fullest, richest
sound quality. Method 2, which involves wiring the front left and rightProMonitor
600s directly to your receiver and hooking your
sub
up with
an
RCA cable, uses
less speaker wire and still sounds good but clearly not as good as Method
1.
We
recommend Method
1,
ifpossible.
Usually
if
distortion
is
heard
when
the
speakers are
being
driven
at
loud
levels,
it
is
caused
by
driving
(turning
up)
the
amplifier
too
loud
and
not
driving
the
speakers
with
more
power
than
they
can
handle.
Remember,
most
amplifiers
put
out
their
full
rated
power
well
before
the
volume
control
is
turned
all
the
way
up!
If
your
speakers distort
when
you
play
them
loud,
turn
down
the
amplifier
or
get
a
bigger
one.
Method 1
1. First, wire the + (red) terminal
of
the left channel speaker wire output
of
your receiv-
er
or amplifier to the + (red) terminal
of
the left channel speaker wire
(high level) input
of
your ProSub.
2. Next, wire the - (black) terminal
of
the left channel speaker wire output
of
your
receiver or amplifier to the - (black) terminal
of
the left channel speaker wire
(high level) input
of
the ProSub.
3. Repeat Steps I and 2 for the right channel.
4.
Wire the + (red) terminal
of
the left ProMonitor 600to the left channel + (red)
speaker wire (high level) out on the back
of
the ProSub.
