Advanced Setup
The T12 is easy to set up and enjoy, but even better sound can be achieved by
following these guidelines.
1. Positioning: getting the most from spatial stereo
The spatial stereo sound eld is produced by the speakers in the sides of the
soundbar. These stereo signals interact with the main signal to produce true stereo
in your listening environment:
Spatial generation zones
IMPORTANT: The areas marked need to be clear of obstacles in order for the
stereo sound eld to work eectively.
HINT: Because Orbitsound produces a uniform stereo sound eld, the soundbar does
not need to be placed directly in front of the listener. Therefore, placing the soundbar
conveniently so that the sides are not obstructed is more important than central
placement, i.e. on low or high shelf, countertop, below/above TV
2. Subwoofer placement:
Subwoofer placement does not aect the overall sound much. Position the
subwoofer after optimising placement of the soundbar.
HINT: The sound output from the subwoofer is omni directional, so this can be placed
anywhere. However, try to avoid placing the subwoofer too far from the soundbar as this
can cause a noticeable ‘separation’ eect. A good place is behind or beside your TV.
IMPORTANT: Always make sure that the subwoofer’s side with a port is clear
from obstruction. Facing the nearest wall with the open port sometimes
incresses the bass eect.

Connection to TV
This conguration can be used for TVs with an optical digital output. The TV sends
stereo sound directly to the soundbar. Connecting sound from the TV like this
is usually the best sound connection method for many reasons. Connecting the
soundbar directly to a set-top box / Blu Ray can introduce A/V sync issues as some
TVs will delay the video a little. We recommend that the sound source should be the
TV’s optical output whenever possible.
Analogue connection (alternative)
R
L
CoaxialOptical
Aux In
Digital Input
Digital connection (preferred):
Use optical cable to connect to TV
sound output
OR
Connect to audio output
HINT: When using the soundbar in this way, it is normal that the speakers on the TV will
need to be turned down or muted to stop sound coming from the TV’s own speakers.
HINT: Make sure that the sound output mode for the optical output on the TV is set to
‘PCM’, or ‘Normal’. This provides the best overall listening experience.
IMPORTANT: Remember to remove the protective plastic covers from a new
TOSLINK (optical) cable before connecting to the optical sockets. Failure to
remove these covers may result in damage and will interrupt the sound output.
IMPORTANT: FIRMLY CONNECT THE TOSLINK UNTIL IT CLICKS INTO PLACE
