Connections
This section involves various methods of connecting the Blu-ray Home Cin\
ema 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
Position of the Blu-ray Home Cinema
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 distan\
ce of the TVs screen size away from the TV. 
Example :  For 32 TVs 2~2.4m     
For 55 TVs 3.5~4m
Front SpeakerseiPlace 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 ce\
ntre speaker or place them slightly in front 
of the centre speakers.
Centre Speaker f
It 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 Speakers hj Place these speakers to the side of your listening position. If there isnt 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 rear speakers are used to hand\
le mainly sound effects and sound will not 
come from them all the time.
Subwoofer
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you \
like.
Connecting The Speakers
   Press down the terminal tab on the back of the speaker. 
  Insert the black wire into the black terminal (–) and the red wir\
e into    
  the red (+) terminal, and then release the tab.
  Connect the connecting plugs to the back of the Blu-ray Home
  Cinema by matching the colours of the speaker plugs to the speaker
  jacks.
