unit
To	connect	the	cable	to	the	unit,	press	each	plastic	finger	pad 	to 	open 	the 	connection 	terminals 	on 	the	unit.	Insert	the	wire	and	release	the	finger	pad.
Connect	the	black	stripe	of	each	wire	to	the	terminals	marked	-	(minus)	and	the	other	end	to	the	terminals	marked	+	(plus).

y Be	careful	to	make	sure	children	not	to	put	
their
	hands 	or 	any 	objects 	into 	the 	*speaker	
duct.	
*Speaker	duct:	A	hole	for	plentiful	bass	
sound	on	speaker	cabinet	(enclosure).
	
y The	speakers	contain	magnet	parts,	so	
color	irregularity	may	occur	on	the	
TV	
screen	or	PC	monitor	screen.	Please	use	the	
speakers	far	away	from	either	 TV	screen	or	
PC	monitor. 
>Caution
Positioning t\fe System
The	following	illustration	shows	an	example	of	positioning	the	system.
Note 	that 	the 	illustrations 	in 	these 	instructions 	differ	from	the	actual	unit	for	explanation	purposes.
For	the	best	possible	surround	sound,	all	the	speakers	other	than	the	subwoofer	should	be	placed	at	the	same	distance	from	the	listening	position	().
Speaker Positioning
		 Front	left	speaker	(\b)/		Front	right	speaker	(R):Place	the	front	speakers	to	the	sides	of	the	monitor	or	screen	and	as	flush	with	the	screen	surface	as	possible.
		Center	speaker:	Place	the	center	speaker	above	or	below	the	monitor	or	screen.
		Surround	left	speaker	(\b)/		Surround	right	speaker	(R):	Place	these	speakers	behind	your	listening	position,	facing	slightly	inwards.
		Subwoofer:	 The	position	of	the	subwoofer	is	not	so	critical,	because	low	bass	sounds	are	not	highly	directional.	But	it	is	better	to	place	the	subwoofer	near	the	front	speakers.	 Turn	it	slightly	toward	the	center	of	the	room	to	reduce	the	wall	reflections.
