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 (12.2 meters).
• 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:
• 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.

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 bracket 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. Ensure that the stand being
used can support the weight of the TV, the PT8051 and any other items
it will be required to support.
Note: Consult the instructions supplied with the stand for details on
how to install the stand and how to mount the PT8051 and the TV on
the stand.
NOTE: Placement of this product on wood surfaces with certain types
of finishes, such as clear varnish, may result in damage to the finish.
Consult the furniture manufacturer's care instructions for direction as
to the types of objects that may safely be placed on the wood surface.
Altec Lansing shall not be responsible for any damage to wood surfaces
from contact with this product.
Setting Up the PT8051
Warning: Do not insert the PT8051's power plug 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 PT 7031 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.
