the box, or other suitable wire. There is a Plus (+) and a 
Minus (-) wire to each speaker. FL is Front Left speaker, C

Connect analog audio outputs from a TV, a DVD or CD 
player or any other (line level, not record players) source 
with analog left and right RCA phono plug outputs to the 
two RCA phono sockets on one of these inputs. An analog 
RCA cable is included with the system.

2

Connect the coaxial digital output of a DVD or CD player 
to this socket. A digital RCA cable is included with the 
system.

Connect the optical digital output of any digital source 
(MP3 player, portable CD player, stationary DVD or CD

If you prefer to place the subwoofer somewhere discreet, 
the infrared sensor on its front panel may not be able to 
receive commands from your remote control. In this case, 
use the extra infrared receiver placed underneath the 
center speaker instead. The separate sensor has a 3,5mm 
stereo mini-jack, which plugs into this socket. Both sen-
sors are active simultaneously.

When in OFF position, this switch disconnects the system 
completely from AC power. This means that there is no 
stand-by power consumption, and the system cannot be 
switched on with the remote control. It is recommended 
to set this switch to OFF when not using the system for a 
prolonged period of time. Switch to ON to permit normal 
operation.

7

Insert the proper end of the power cord here, the other 
end into a wall socket. If the internal fuse should blow, 
pry open the small drawer beneath the AC plug with a 
screwdriver to slide out the fuse.

On the Remote Control, the ON Button turns the unit ON, 
while Button 

2 turns the unit to STANDBY. On the Sub-

woofer Front Panel, the ON Button is a combined ON/OFF 
Button that toggles between ON and STANDBY. The display 
briefly shows PWR ON or PWROFF while this is happening. 
Please note that the Xcite features Automatic Turn-On/
Off, and the power switch is not  normally used unless it is 
necessary to over ride this automatic feature. Please read 
the details regarding Automatic Turn-On/Off on page 3 of 
this manual.

When the Xcite is plugged into a working electrical outlet 
and its master switch on the back panel is set to On, the 
Standby light in the ON Button on the front panel will illu-
minate. The display window will light as soon as the Xcite 
is turned on either automatically or via the pressing of the 
ON Button on the Remote Control or Front Panel.

1 

Access each of the four Inputs on the rear panel with 
the Buttons R1 to R4. Under normal day-to-day use, the 
Automatic Source Selection System either uses the last 
Input that you listened to, or switches to the appropriate 
Source when you power it up. Only when this system does 
not work, or if you wish to alternate between two or three 
signal sources, do these buttons come in handy.

2 

Switches the system off.

cedures.

Setup procedures.

This feature is available for Dolby Digital only. It com-
presses the inherently  dynamic digital sound so that the 
quiet and loud passages are not quite as different in sound 
levels as they ordinarily are. This feature allows the user to 
watch movies and  listen to dialogue at toned-down levels 
so as not to disturb others by the loud sound effects that 
may be present. The word NIGHT lights up in the display 
when this feature is active.

The CS360 System enters SETUP when you press and hold 
the MENU Button on the Remote Control for 3 seconds. 

The Front Display now shows the word TEST blinking. Press 
the [<] or [>] Navigation Button 

F on the Remote to 

scroll through the options. If scrolling with the Right 
Navigation Button, the Display shows these (blinking) 
words in the following order:

TEST – LEVELS – UNITS – DISTNC – LIPSNC – DISPLY - ON 
VOL – NAME - AU ON - AU SRC - RESET? - And TEST again.

Select any of these functions for adjustment by pressing 
the SET Button 

4 on the Remote. See below for explana-

tion of each adjustment.

If you want to leave the SETUP Mode at any time, press 
the EXIT Button 

E on the Remote once or twice.

 If the unit is left in SETUP mode or its sub-menus 

for 60 seconds without any user commands, the unit 
leaves SETUP menu and returns to regular operation.

 In SETUP, when a selection has sub-selections 

(such as LEVELS having a sub-selection of Front Left, Cen-
ter, Front Right, ……), this selection blinks to prompt you 
to press SET to enter the next menu layer. If a menu item 
offers no further options (such as Front Left Speaker in 
the LEVELS menu), the indication does not blink.

To enter the SETUP menu, first press the MENU Button 
for two seconds. When the Display shows the word TEST 
blinking, either acknowledge with the SET Button to enter 
the TEST tone menu, or move forwards or back between 
the Setup options with the RIGHT ARROW or LEFT ARROW 
Buttons. The following explanations follow the Setup 
Functions as you see them if using the RIGHT ARROW to 
circulate through the menus.

After pressing the SET Button, a pink noise test signal 
circulates between the three speakers and the subwoofer, 
(sound from the subwoofer only if SUBWFR is ON). While 
the test signal is heard from each speaker, the Display 
shows which one you are listening to, as well as the level. 
(FL for Front Left, C for Center, FR for Front Right, S for 
Subwoofer). Adjust the output level by pressing the Up or 
Down Navigation Buttons. Initial level for all speakers is 
shown as “0”, and may be increased to +10 or decreased 
to -10, except the subwoofer, which may be increased to 
+20. The noise is heard from each speaker for 5 seconds, 
and if no action or adjustment is done, it goes to the next 
speaker. You can circulate between the speakers quickly 
by pressing the RIGHT ARROW Button. The system stays in 
TEST mode until you press EXIT or SET. SET or first press 
of EXIT will take you to the next SETUP item (LEVELS). A 
second press of EXIT button will cause the system to leave 
the SETUP menu.

Here you can adjust the level of each speaker while lis-
tening to normal music or any other program material of 
your choice. (No test tone or pink noise is heard). Press 
SET when LEVELS blinks on the Display. The Display shows 
“FL  0” for Front Left Channel, standard level. Increase or 
decrease the Level with the Up and Down Navigation But-
tons, and move through the four speakers with the Left 
and Right Navigation Buttons, adjusting each one accord-
ing to taste. When you are done, press SET or EXIT to jump 
to the next SETUP item.

Units lets you select either meters or feet for setting 
speaker distances. This selection is relevant only if you 
want to adjust Distance (next point).

Adjusts perceived speaker Distance from user by add-
ing delay. Select each speaker in turn with the Left and 
Right Navigation Buttons and adjust the distance from 
0.0 meters to 9.0 meters to reflect the actual distance 
between yourself and each speaker. Press SET or EXIT to 
jump to the next item.
