BIPOLAR SURROUND

Thank you for choosing the Definitive Technology BP9000 Bipolar Surround Speakers. These compact, high-quality bipolar speakers are intended primarily for use as a rear or side speakers. In addition, they can also be used as front "effects" speakers in multichannel DSP systems. The lifelike soundfield and flexible placement make this speaker an excellent addition to any room.

Our engineers have spent many years in developing this product. In order to ensure that you experience the finest performance possible, we encourage you to take a moment to fully read this owner's manual and familiarize yourself with the proper installation and setup procedures for your SR surround speakers.

Positioning Your BP9000 Surround Speakers

VERY IMPORTANT:

Do not use your receiver's auto setup function!!! The bipolar nature of this speaker will often confuse the receiver's auto setup.

Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel systems have critical channel balance and speaker setup procedures which must be followed if the system is to perform properly. Consult your receiver's or processor's manual to learn how to access your system setup menus. Set speaker setup to "small" and crossover to 80Hz for the SR9080BP and 100Hz for the SR9040BP.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any difficulties with your BP Series loudspeakers, try the suggestions below. If you still have problems, contact your Definitive Technology Authorized Dealer for assistance.

1. Audible distortion when the speakers are playing at loud levels is caused by driving (turning up) your receiver or amplifier louder than it or the speakers are capable of playing. Most receivers and amplifiers put out their full-rated power well before the volume control is turned all the way up, so the position of the volume control is a poor indicator of its power limit. If your speakers distort when you play them loud, turn the volume down!
2. If you experience a lack of bass, it is likely that one speaker is out of phase with the other and needs to be rewired paying closer attention to connect positive to positive and negative to negative on both channels. Most speaker wire has some indicator (such as color-coding, ribbing or writing) on one of the two conductors to help you maintain consistency. It is essential to connect both speakers to the amplifier in the same way (in phase).
3. Make sure all your system interconnects are solidly in place.
4. Check that no foreign objects or liquid has entered the speaker cabinet.
