Thank you for purchasing the Altec Lansing PT8051 Wireless Surround Sound System.
The PT8051 is designed to replace the traditional A/V receiver and separate speakers and provide a
complete, multi-channel surround system sound from just two components using DTS and Dolby Digital
decoding to faithfully reproduce your favorite music and movie soundtracks. The PT8051 system’s
NXT Digital flat-panel driver technology accurately reproduces the full frequency range and delivers all
the subtleties and spatial depth that today’s digital formats are capable of. In addition, the PT8051’s
advanced wireless transmission means it’s easy to experience theater quality surround effects without
the need to run wires to the rear speakers.
The PT8051’s design is well suited for use with today’s large format LCD and plasma flat panel
displays and both components can be wall mounted with them using the supplied brackets. A universal
remote control is included that allows you to consolidate remote controls from various devices such as
your TV, DVD player and VCR.

Installing the PT8051
This section provides guidelines for locating and installing your new PT8051.
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)

• 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.

Center 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.

Screen Saver Setting
When set to ON the PT8051 will automatically enter the screen saver mode when no changes have been
made after five minutes. This is useful for preventing image burn from occurring that can damage
certain plasma TVs. The default setting is ON.
EQ (Equalizer)
Use this function to select equalizer settings. Choose from; CLASSIC, POP, ROCK, or JAZZ. The
default setting is CLASSIC.
Default Setting
If RESET is selected, all the items in the setup menu will be reset to the factory default settings as
previously indicated.
