To connect your speakers,
press down on the quick-
release tab, which opens 
the terminal for the speaker
wire, and put the bare end
of the wire in straight.
Release the tab and give 
the speaker wire a gentle
tug. If it’s in properly, it
won’t “give” at all. If it
slides, repeat the procedure.
Use the shortest wire for the
CENTER speaker, the two
medium-length wires for the
FRONT speakers and the
long wires for the REAR
speakers.
Always insert the RED-
coated wire into the RED
terminals and the BLACK-
coated wire into the
BLACK terminals on each of
your speakers and on the 
appropriate terminal on the
back of the Main Unit.

6-Channel Digital Direct 
If you have a DVD player or surround
processor with a built-in Dolby Digital or 
DTS processor, connect the 6 outputs of 
the DVD player/processor as shown.
Please check that all 5 satellites and the
subwoofer are configured correctly through
the DVD player or the outboard processor.
Depending on the product you own, you may
have to configure these settings using the 
on-screen display of the DVD player or the
outboard processor. Make sure that the
satellites are set to On and are in Small
mode, and that the subwoofer is also set to On.
The ESC230 is equipped with a
line-level output that allows you
to send the same audio signal 
to additional audio equipment,
such as an amplifier and speakers
in another location.

Test Tone
The test tone is used to calibrate the level settings of the
speakers. A static noise will be heard cycling, in order, from
the front left, center, right and both surround speakers.
Using the remote control, adjust the Center and Surround
levels until the volume of all the speakers is the same during
the test. The test tone is used to calibrate the performance
of the system. When listening to an actual recording, the 
volume level of the surround channels is generally much
lower than that of the front channels. In fact, when listening
to a movie, virtually all of the dialogue and a substantial
number of effects are reproduced through the center channel.
Dolby Pro Logic, Hall and Concert Modes
1. Push the Test button on the remote control.
2. When the test tone is heard from the center speaker, push the +
or – Ctr/Rear Level button to match the volume of the center 
channel to the front left and right channels.
3. When the test tone is heard from the surround speakers, push 
the + or – Ctr/Rear Level button to match the volume of the 
rear channels to the front.
6-Channel Input
1. Push the Test button on the remote control. The test tone 
will cycle through all channels.
2. When the test tone is heard from the center speaker, 
push the or – Ctr/Rear Level button to match the volume 
of the center channel to the front left and right channels.
3. When the test tone is heard from one of the surround 
speakers, push the or – Ctr/Rear Level button to match 
the volume of that surround speaker to the front, left and 
right channels.
4. Repeat step (3) when the test tone is heard from the other 
surround speaker.
Please note that the 6-channel direct input mode has its own
level settings that are independent of the other modes.
