The PT8051 creates a realistic surround sound experience from just two units. Usability is further enhanced by utilizing an advanced 2.4 GHz wireless transmission system that eliminates the need to run wires to the rear surround speakers. While placement is less critical than similar systems, the following general guidelines should be followed where possible to ensure best sound quality; • Avoid placement where furniture or other items would obstruct the grill area. • Center the PT8051 below the TV so that dialogue appears to be coming from it. • The maximum allowable distance between the main and rear surround units is approximately 40 feet (12 meters)
Project: Altec Lansing PT8051 User Guide (US Version) 5• The rear surround unit should be placed behind the primary listening position to maximize the surround sound effects from the system. For maximum sound quality it should be placed at or near ear level when they are seated in the listening position. • Avoid placing the PT8051 on or near surfaces that may vibrate. Locating the PT8051 The PT8051’s front and rear units can be placed on suitable level surfaces or mounted on the wall using the supplied wall mounting brackets. Safety Notes: [Illustration of ventilation] • Be sure to leave adequate ventilation space – at least 2 inches (50mm) above both the main and rear surround units. • We do not recommend installing this unit so that it is directly on the floor. • The main unit of the PT8051 weighs approximately (18.1 lbs.) (8.2 kg) and the rear surround unit weighs approximately 9.8 lbs. (4.4 kg.). Be sure to secure it where it will not fall and where it is out of the reach of children. • Do not install the main or rear surround units directly above a cathode-ray tube (CRT) TV as stray magnetic fields may distort the TV.
Project: Altec Lansing PT8051 User Guide (US Version) 6 Wall Mounting If you are mounting the PT8051 on the wall please follow these steps; 1. Determine a suitable wall location for mounting each speaker unit within reach of its AC cord. 2. Position and level the supplied metal mounting brackets in the desired location on the wall. 3. Being careful to avoid any items (wires, pipes, etc.) hidden inside the wall secure the metal mounting bracket using appropriate fasteners for the application. If you are unsure which type of fasteners to use or are unable to determine if there are items within the wall that could be damaged please consult a licensed contractor. 4. Place the speaker on the mounting bracket by aligning the two buttonholes on the rear of the speaker with the posts on the mounting bracket. Check to make sure the wall mount bracket and speaker are securely fixed in place. Caution: The wall-mounting bracket should be installed only by qualified personnel. The mounting bracket can be installed on many different types of walls. When installed, the mounting bracket must support at least 100 lbs. (45 kg.). The installer must be sure that the installing surface can support the 100 lb. (45 kg.) weight requirement. The qualified installer must also determine and use the proper hardware to obtain the weight requirements for the wall. Placing the PT8051 on a Stand You can mount your TV on a commercially-available stand and place the main unit of the PT8051 under your TV.

Project: Altec Lansing PT8051 User Guide (US Version) 7 [HEADLINE] Setting up the PT8051 Warning: Do not insert the PT8051’s power plugs into a wall outlet until you connect other sources such as your TV, DVD player, satellite tuner or alternate audio source. Also, turn off audio sources before connecting them to the PT8051. The PT8051 is designed to connect external components such as your DVD player, satellite TV tuner, cable TV tuner, VCR, game console and TV. The PT8051 can be connected to the source equipment (DVD, VCR, etc.) using either a digital (coaxial or optical) or analog connection. In cases where there are both digital and analog outputs such as a DVD player we recommend using the digital output to ensure best sound quality and optimal surround sound reproduction. Connecting devices equipped with a digital audio output (DVD player, DVR, etc.) The PT8051 can accept digital input signals using standard, commercially available optical or coaxial cables. Typical digital connections [Illustration of digital connections] To connect a digital audio source: • Use a coaxial cable to connect the COAXIAL IN (DVD) jack on the PT8051 to the coaxial output jack on the DVD player. • Use an optical cable to connect the OPTICAL IN (AUX) jack on the PT8051 to the optical output jack on a digital audio source such as a game console or digital video recorder. • Use an optical cable to connect the OPTICAL IN (TV/SAT) jack on the PT8051 to the optical output jack on the satellite tuner or cable TV tuner. Note: When connecting a DVD player we recommend using the coaxial input found on the rear of the PT8051. However, if your DVD player only has an optical output it can be connected to the AUX input. Connecting devices equipped with an analog audio output (VCR or similar device). To connect the PT8051 to a VCR or similar analog audio device, connect the cables as shown in the diagram below. Analog audio connections [Illustration of analog connections]
Project: Altec Lansing PT8051 User Guide (US Version) 8 To connect audio from an analog (VCR, etc.) audio device: • Use a standard stereo audio cable to connect the AUDIO IN (AUX) jacks on the PT8051 to the audio output jacks on the VCR or similar audio source. Ensure that the cables are connected correctly observing left (white) and right (red) connections at both the PT8051 and the source device. • Use a standard stereo audio cable to connect the AUDIO IN (TV/SAT) jacks to the audio output jacks on the satellite TV or cable TV tuner. If your satellite TV or cable TV tuner has a digital output this input can be used for another device. • Use a standard stereo audio cable to connect the AUDIO IN (DVD) jack to the audio output jack on the DVD player. If you have connected your DVD player using an optical or coaxial digital cable you can use this input for another device.

Project: Altec Lansing PT8051 User Guide (US Version) 12Center Delay Setting Used to set the delay time that is used for the CENTER channel. This setting is adjustable from 0 to 5 mS (milliseconds) in one second increments. This setting is useful if your PT8051 main unit cannot be positioned near the TV. As a general rule one foot (30cm) is equal to a delay of approximately 1mS. Therefore if your PT8051 main unit was one foot from the screen you would set the CENTER delay for 1mS. It can also be adjusted so that the sound coming from the PT8051 is synchronized with the video image. The default setting is CENTER DELAY TURNED OFF. Rear Delay Setting Used to set the delay time that is used for the REAR (surround) channel. This setting is adjustable from 0 to 15mS (milliseconds) in three second increments. This setting is used to accurately reproduce the surround information that is encoded on certain DVDs as the producer intended by allowing you to tailor the sound to your listening room size. In this case you would set the delay as follows; The delay in milliseconds for the rear (surround) speaker setting is equal to the number of feet closer that speaker is to your listening position than the main unit. For an example, let's assume the main unit is 15 ft away from the main listening position and the rear (surround) unit is 5 feet away. Surround's Delay = 15ft - 5ft = 10ft = 10mS of delay In this case you would select 9 mS from the menu as it is closet to 10 mS. The idea is to have the sound from the main and rear units reach your ears at the same time, in relation to the signal being sent to those speakers. For the speakers that are close to you, a delay has to be added so that their sound reaches your ears at the same time as the speakers that are farther away from you, with respect to the music signal that is sent to all the speakers at the same instant. The default setting is REAR DELAY TURNED OFF. Test Tone Setting When set to the ON position, the system will test the speaker output by using an internally generated test tone. The test signal is output sequentially through various channels. The default setting is OFF. Comment: AdComment: AdComment: NeeCENTER and RE
