INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

Thank you—the MartinLogan owner, for loving what we do, and making it possible for us to do what we love.

MartinLogan's dedicated in-house engineering and design team developed the Motion Vision soundbar to deliver exceptional multi-channel performance from a single system that easily integrates and installs in a diverse variety of environments—whether table or wall mounted. The Motion Vision produces an enveloping field of richly detailed audio for both music and movies via three tweeters incorporating MartinLogan's award-winning Folded Motion technology, four high-performance woofers, and seven channels of dedicated amplification representing 100 watts of total system power.

Advanced digital signal processing technology allows MartinLogan to replace five dedicated home theater speakers with a one piece solution capable of reproducing multi-channel recordings with unflinching accuracy, resolution, and detail— the inspiration behind every MartinLogan design. The Motion Vision reproduces front left, right, and center channels via the system's dedicated tweeters and woofers. Surround channels are simulated using sophisticated digital signal processing that directs sound from the system's tweeters and woofers throughout the room.

Additionally, for a fully authentic surround sound experience, the Motion Vision's built in SWT-2 wireless transmitter makes connecting a dedicated compatible MartinLogan subwoofer as simple as the push of a button—no wires necessary.

The Motion Vision's simple remote control quickly adjusts volume and selects inputs. The remote also allows you to easily switch between three discrete acoustic modes—'Night' mode (to dial down the bass), 'Bass +' mode (for those moments requiring a little extra thunder), and a 'Normal' mode that restores normal levels.

PLACEMENT AND MOUNTING

LOCATION

We recommend locating the soundbar centered directly above or below your video display. The soundbar menu allows you to optimize acoustic performance for either 'on-wall' or 'on-shelf' installations. You will learn more about accessing these options in the "Controls" section of this manual.

INSTALLING ON A FLAT SURFACE

If you have a surface that provides a wide, level, and stable platform (such as a table or audio/video rack), the soundbar can be placed directly on top.

When installing the system in this configuration, use the soundbar's menu system to choose 'INSTAL > ON.SHLF' [ON SHELF].

Please note: This soundbar is not magnetically shielded and therefore should not be placed directly beneath or on top of a CRT (cathode ray tube) television. The magnetic field of the soundbar will not affect plasma and LCD style televisions.

ON-WALL INSTALLATION

Note: These instructions assume the mounting surface is standard wood frame and sheet rock construction. If you wish to mount to another type of surface, consult a bonded contractor.

WARNING! We strongly recommend locating the wall bracket so at least one of the screw locations attaches to a stud. WARNING

To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the floor/wall in accordance with the installation instructions.

Note: When installing the system in this configuration, use the soundbar's menu system to choose 'INSTAL > ON.WALL'.

Required tools (not included):

• Stud finder
• Level
  • Electric drill and drill bits
  • Phillips screwdriver

Required hardware (included):

• (1) Installation template
(1) Wall bracket

Required hardware (not included):

• (5) Screws appropriate for mounting surface
• (5) Sheet rock anchors (sized for screws)

1 Locate mounting location using a level and the installation template (fig 1).
2 Mark the three central pilot hole locations and remove the installation template (fig 1).
3 Using a stud finder, determine if there is a wall stud directly behind one of the three center screw locations (fig 2a).

Fig. 1

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with no visible text or symbols

If no stud is found: use the center most screw location and drill a pilot hole for the wall anchor. Install a wall anchor at this location. If a wall stud is found: drill a pilot hole into the stud.

4 Using a screw, attach the wall bracket to the wall. DO NOT tighten (fig 2b).

5 Using a stud finder, determine if a wall stud is directly behind any of the remaining screw locations (fig 2a).

If no stud is found: use the top and bottom center-most screw locations. If a wall stud is found: use the top and bottom screw locations with a stud behind them.

Use a level to square the wall bracket and mark the remaining pilot hole locations (fig 2b).

6 Remove the wall bracket or pivot to access the remaining screw locations (fig 2b).

If no stud is found: drill pilot holes and install wall anchors. If a wall stud is found: drill pilot holes into the stud.

7 Using the screws, attach the wall bracket to the wall. DO NOT fully tighten.

8 Use a level to square the wall bracket. Tighten all screws (fig 2b).

9 Attach audio and power cables as needed. Refer to the 'Connection' section of this manual.

10 Move the soundbar into place and drop the shoulder bolts into the wall bracket keyholes. Before releasing, make sure the soundbar has dropped fully into the keyholes and is held firmly in place (fig. 3).

CONNECTION

WARNING! Turn your soundbar off before making or breaking any

signal connections! WARNING!

The power cord should not be installed, removed, or left detached from the soundbar while the other end is connected to an AC power source.

POWER CONNECTION

The power cord should be firmly inserted into the AC power receptacle on the rear connection panel of the soundbar, then to any convenient AC wall outlet. The soundbar also integrates a signal sensing power supply that automatically switches off after sensing no audio signal for 30 minutes (this will only occur when the menu's power setting is set to 'Auto').

If you remove your soundbar from the country of original sale, be certain that AC power supplied in any subsequent location is suitable before connecting and operating the soundbar. Substantially impaired performance or severe damage may occur to the soundbar if operation is attempted from an incorrect AC power source.

SIGNAL CONNECTION

When utilizing the soundbar to reproduce audio a television's audio output should be defeated. Some televisions will allow you to turn off the internal speaker via the television's menu system. Other televisions may require you to turn the television's volume to "zero" or "mute".

Additionally, your television may require you to turn on the digital optical or digital coaxial output or and/or configure the output for 5.1 surround sound. Please refer to your television's manual.

Connections are made at the signal input section on the rear electronics panel of the soundbar. Your soundbar features four audio inputs:

• 2 x Digital Optical inputs
• 1 x Digital Coaxial (RCA) input
• 1 x Left/Right Analog (RCA) input

When connecting your system, there are any variety of configurations that will work, and these methods will vary based on user preference.

Some users will choose to route all sources (such as DVD player, cable box, game console, media streamer, etc.) to their television via a digital (optical or coaxial) connection and use the television to switch between audio/video sources. The advantage of this connection method is that only one audio cable (either a digital optical or digital coaxial cable) needs to connect between the televi-

An Introduction to Audio Cables

Illustration of a 3-pin connector with a black cable (no text or symbols visible)

HDMI: HDMI utilizes one cable to pass high-definition video signals and multi-channel encoded digital audio between a source component and television or receiver. Your soundbar is not equipped with an HDMI input. However, in many installations you will want to use HDMI to connect a video source component to your television (to pass video) and an additional digital optical or digital coaxial cable (to pass audio) to the soundbar.

Illustration of a black cable with multiple metallic connectors (no text or symbols)

Digital Optical: Digital optical utilizes one cable to pass digital audio information (no video). A digital optical cable offers a high-quality digital connection and passes multi-channel encoded audio between a source component and an audio output device.

Digital (no F

Digital Coaxial: Digital coaxial utilizes one cable to pass digital audio information (no video). A digital coaxial cable offers a high-quality digital connection and passes multi-channel encoded audio between a source component and an audio output device. Please note: The 'RCA' style end of a digital coaxial cable is identical to those found on common left/right analog RCA cables.

However, a cable designed specifically for digital coaxial connections should be employed—do not use a standard left/right analog RCA style cable because it will likely not be up to the task of handling the high bit-rate necessary for a reliable digital connection.

Illustration of two black audio/video cables with no text or symbols on the cables themselves

Left/Right Analog RCA: Left/right analog RCA cables are used to pass audio information (no video). An analog RCA cable can only be used to pass a single channel of audio information between a source component and audio output device. To achieve two-channels of audio (left/right) you will find that analog RCA cables come bundled as a stereo pair (2 connectors on each end). Analog RCA connections are not capable of passing the digital encoding required to reproduce multi-channel audio and thus should not be used with source components where you desire surround sound output. Older gaming consoles, portable media player docks, VCRs and similar source components (which are not capable of playing multi-channel encoded content) will often offer connection only through left/right analog RCA cables. Additionally, users may find source components such as digital media player docks that utilize a special cable with a 3.5mm 'headphone style' jack on one end, and two analog RCA connectors on the opposite end.

sion and the soundbar—and changing the input on your television will change the audio signal being sent to the soundbar (without having to change the input setting on the soundbar itself). Please note: televisions are not capable of passing multi-channel encoded audio signals and will down-mix these signals to a 2-channel stereo mix before sending them to the television's digital output.

Most users will want to run cables directly from the source to the soundbar while simultaneously running HDMI from each source to the TV for the video signal. This has the advantage of allowing the soundbar to receive multi-channel encoded material. However, some newer source devices turn off their optical/coaxial outputs when their HDMI output is used.

Depending on your number of sources, the TV may be used for switching some sources while audio output from the primary source devices may be directly connected to the soundbar for multi-channel sound.

A few important points to remember when connecting your soundbar:

• Digital optical and digital coaxial connections will provide the highest audio fidelity when connecting to the soundbar.
• If your soundbar is not producing sound or surround sound from your Blu-ray player, DVD player, or other multi-channel audio capable source you may need to set the player's digital audio output to "Bitstream" (also called "Raw", "Direct Digital", or "High Bit Rate"). If "PCM" is selected you'll loose the multi-channel encoded sound. Some players only require you to turn PCM off to configure for multi-channel encoded sound. Please refer to your player's manual.

- In a setup where HDMI is used to connect your audio/video source component to your televi-

sion, you will likely need to run an additional digital optical or coaxial cable between the source component and your soundbar. This extra connection will allow for multi-channel encoded audio to reach the soundbar.

- Audio-only sources capable of only stereo output (such a portable media player docks or CD player) will often connect directly to the soundbar via the left/right analog RCA inputs.

Compatible with SWT-2 Equipped MartinLogan Subwoofer Systems

SUBWOOFER CONNECTION

You may choose to employ a separate subwoofer to reproduce the .1/LFE channel information in multi-channel recordings and/or reinforce bass performance of stereo recordings. Any aftermarket home theater subwoofer can be connected via the soundbar's "LFE Out" RCA connection. We, of course, recommend using a superb MartinLogan subwoofer.

Additionally, this soundbar integrates a built-in SWT-2 subwoofer wireless transmitter compatible with select MartinLogan subwoofers. Subwoofers utilizing SWT-2 technology will reference this wireless system on their connection panel.

Please note: When utilizing a wireless connection it is not necessary to use the SWT-2 wireless transmitter included with the subwoofer.

No Subwoofer

For systems not using a separate subwoofer, use the soundbar's menu system and choose "SUB > NO SUB". This sets the soundbar to reproduce the entire frequency range when playing content.

subwoofer connection, connect "Sub Out" from the soundbar to the "LFE In/Sub In" on the subwoofer.

Use the soundbar's menu system and choose 'SUB > WIRED'.

Reference your subwoofer's manual to learn how to properly adjust the sub's level and phase controls to achieve proper blending with the soundbar. The subwoofer's crossover should be set to "bypass", "LFE". For subwoofers that do not have a "bypass" or "LFE" crossover setting we recommend adjusting the crossover to its highest setting.

Wireless Subwoofer Connection

Press the subwoofer's sync button and hold for 3 seconds. The subwoofer's LED will blink quickly.

Use the soundbar's menu system and choose 'SUB > WIRELS > SYNC'. The soundbar will display 'PSH.BTN' [PUSH BUTTON].

If pairing has completed successfully, the subwoofer's LED will stop blinking and remain on and the soundbar will display 'SYNCED'. Please note: If a link is not established after 30 seconds, the subwoofer's LED will start blinking slowly and the soundbar will display 'FAILED'. Repeat if syncing fails.

Please note: MartinLogan once utilized a wireless subwoofer connection system named "SWT-1". Subwoofers equipped with SWT-1 technology are not capable of wireless connectivity with this soundbar—a wired connection will work for these subwoofers.

WARNING! When operating wirelessly, the subwoofer may be susceptible to RF interference in the 2.4GHz bandwidth from microwave ovens and wireless devices such as WiFi systems, video game consoles, cordless telephones, bluetooth devices, and baby monitors. Generally, this issue (intermittent sound or slight popping noises) is easily resolved by physically separating problematic devices from one another—a distance as little as two feet will often alleviate the interference. In the case of microwave ovens, the interference will only occur when the microwave is operating.

Reference your subwoofer's manual to learn how to properly adjust the sub's level and phase controls. The subwoofer's crossover should be set to "bypass" or "LFE". For subwoofers that do not have a "bypass" or "LFE" crossover setting we recommend adjusting the crossover to its highest setting.

Please note: If you decide to no longer use wireless, turn off the soundbar's wireless transmitter by using the menu system and choosing 'SUB > WIRELS > TRN.OFF' [TURN OFF] or 'SUB > NO SUB'. Doing this will turn off the transmitter and automatically set the soundbar for no sub.

Using a MartinLogan Dynamo Subwoofer

If using a MartinLogan Dynamo family subwoofer, we recommend beginning with the following subwoofer settings:

Low-pass: Bypass

Phase (wired connection): ○

Phase (wireless connection): 180

Volume: Knob set to vertical (12-o'clock to 1-o'clock position)

This soundbar is capable of detecting and automatically decoding multi-channel audio formats, such as those found on DVD and Blu-ray movies.

DIGITAL INPUTS (Optical and Coaxial)

When utilizing a digital connection, the soundbar can process the following formats:

• Dolby Digital
• DTS Digital Surround™
- Digital Stereo

ANALOG INPUTS (Left/Right RCA)

Digitally encoded sound information cannot be transmitted to an analog input. This connection method is adequate for most devices that only offer two channels of output (such as VCRs, CD players, older game consoles, or portable media player docks). Although most surround sound capable devices, such as DVD and Blu-ray players, offer both analog and digital connections, the digital connection should always be employed. If a source device is connected via an analog left/right RCA connection, the 5.1-channel encoded audio content will not be sent to the soundbar.

TOP PANEL CONTROLS

Your soundbar features four buttons on top of the unit to control the following functions:

POWER: Turns the soundbar on. Press and for 2 seconds to turn the soundbar off (fig. 8).

PREVIOUS/NEXT INPUT: Cycles through the inputs. The order of inputs is: Digital Optical 1 > Digital Optical 2 > Digital Coaxial > Left/Right Analog RCA (fig. 7).

VOL+/VOL-: Adjusts volume level (fig. 7).

Accessing the Menu: To access the soundbar menu from the top panel controls, press and hold for 3 seconds both the Next and Previous Input (< and >) buttons. After the menu has been activated, the four buttons on the top panel controls will function as up/down/left/right directional buttons allowing you to navigate the menu. Exit the menu by pressing and holding the Power button or repeatedly pressing the left directional button (fig. 8 and fig. 10).

MODES - BASS+: Increases bass output.

MODES - NORMAL: Restores normal levels.

CHANGING THE REMOTE'S BATTERY

Caution! Danger of explosion if batter is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

The remote control for your soundbar uses a CR2025 3V type battery. Access the battery by releasing the clip at the back bottom of the remote

control. Viewing the remote from the back, the positive '+' side of the battery should be facing you (fig. 9).

PROGRAMMING A SECOND REMOTE

This soundbar can be programmed to respond to a second remote. See "The Menu System" section of this manual for programming instructions.

Please note: There may be remotes that the soundbar cannot learn or that the soundbar can not learn correctly. Due to the number of available remotes it is impossible to advise which remotes will or will not work.

Please note: When learning from a second remote, you will likely find it does not have buttons that directly correspond with all available soundbar commands. Not all soundbar commands have to be programmed. Some remote controls offer 'function' buttons (F1, F2, etc.) that can be used to program unique soundbar commands such as 'NITE.MD' or 'OPTIC.1'.

Please note: Some remote controls offer discrete 'power on' and a 'power off' buttons. Some offer only a single button to toggle power on and off. The learning function of the soundbar allows you to program for either scenario.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is my soundbar not reproducing multi-channel (surround sound) audio?

This could be caused by any number of things. Review the "Connection" section of this manual for a better understanding of recommended connection methods and possible options that might impact the soundbar's ability to receive multi-channel encoded audio from your television and other audio/video source components.

Will this soundbar decode Dolby® TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio™?

No. This soundbar will not decode Dolby® TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio™. If your audio source (most likely a Blu-ray player) supports either of these formats, you should configure it to default to the Dolby® Digital or DTS Digital Surround™ encoded sound track.

How do I connect the soundbar if my television does not have a digital (optical or coaxial) output?

Connect the audio output of your audio/video sources (DVD, Blu-ray, cable box, game console, etc.) directly to the soundbar using a digital (optical or coaxial) cable.

How do I clean my soundbar?

Use a dust free cloth (such as a micro fiber cloth) or a soft brush to remove dust from your speakers. Do not spray any kind of cleaning agent on or in close proximity to the drivers.

Can I use other cables other than those provided with the soundbar?

The cables included with the soundbar are intended to get you started. You may find it necessary to augment your system with additional cables or replace the included cables with cables of different length.

Can I mount this soundbar on the wall with a mounting bracket that pivots?

MartinLogan does not provide a pivoting wall-bracket for this soundbar. Aftermarket options may exist, but we can not recommend or guarantee a specific brand or model.

I have a MartinLogan subwoofer with a built-in SWT-2 wireless receiver. Do I have to use the wireless connection?

No. MartinLogan subs with built in SWT-2 receivers may still be attached via a wired connection.

Can I use this soundbar as a dedicated center channel speaker?

This soundbar is not designed to operate as a dedicated center channel speaker.

Could you suggest a list of suitable electronics and cables ideal for MartinLogan speakers?

We have no favorites and use electronics and cables quite interchangeably. We would suggest listening to a number of brands—and above all else—trust your ears. Dealers are always the best source for information when purchasing additional audio equipment.

Is there likely to be any interaction between my speakers and the television in my A/V system?

Yes, but only with CRT televisions. This soundbar is not magnetically shielded and should be kept at least 2 feet away from a CRT television. LCD and plasma televisions will not be affected.

How can I remove the grille cloth from the soundbar?

The soundbar grille cover is not removable.
