02 Connections
This section involves various methods of connecting the product to other\
 external components. 
Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power a\
nd disconnect the power cord.
Connecting the Speakers
Front Speakers ei
Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards\
 (about 45°) 
toward you. Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height 
as your ear. Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the 
centre speaker or place them slightly in front of the centre speakers.
Centre Speaker fIt is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers. You c\
an also install it 
directly over or under the TV.
Surround Speakershj
Place these speakers to the side of your listening position. If there isn't enough 
room, place these speakers so they face each other. Place them about 60 \
to 
90cm above your ear, facing slightly downward.
*   Unlike the front and centre speakers, the surround speakers are used to \
handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the ti\
me.
Subwoofer gThe position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you \
like.
SW
Connections
Position of the product
Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the 
TV stand.
Selecting the Listening PositionThe listening position should be located about 2.5 
to 3 times the distance of the TV's screen size 
away from the TV. 
Example :   For 32" TV's 2~2.4m 
For 55" TV's 3.5~4m 
 NOTE
 If you place a speaker near your TV set, screen colour may be distorted because of the magnetic fi eld generated by the 
speaker. If this occurs, place the speaker away from your TV set.
✎

CAUTION
Do not let children play with or near the speakers. They could get hurt \
if a speaker falls.
When connecting the speaker wires to the speakers, make sure that the po\
larity (+/ –) is correct.
  Keep the subwoofer speaker out of reach of children so as to prevent chi\
ldren from inserting their hands or alien substances 
into the duct (hole) of the subwoofer speaker.
  Do not hang the subwoofer on the wall through the duct (hole).
