Installing the Product on the Wall
Use the wall mount bracket if you want to install the Control Unit on th\
e wall.

Attach the back unit bracket to the Control Unit 
using four provided black M4 x L12 screws.
-  When you place the bracket on correctly, the 
screw holes are indented and the clasps on 
the Control Unit mount pass through the two 
rectangular holes in the bracket and are fl ush 
with the top of the bracket.2.
1Place the wall mount bracket in a desired area 
of the wall arrow pointing up, and then use 
4 screws (not supplied) to fi x it on the wall.
-  We recommend attaching the wall mount 
bracket to an area of the wall backed by a 
stud.
-   If there is no stud where you want to attach 
the wall mount bracket, use screws with 
mollies that can support the weight of the 
Control Unit.  1.
3Fully insert the back bracket’s clasp into the wall 
mount bracket receptacle, and then fi x it by 
sliding it down fully.
-  Later on, you will need to remove the Control 
Unit from the wall temporarily to attach the 
system cable to the back of the Control Unit.3.

Connections
This section describes various methods of connecting the Control Unit 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
Connecting the Subwoofer
To activate the product, you must connect the subwoofer to the Control U\
nit using the system 
cable. Most of external connections including the power supply, speakers\
, and TV are made 
through the subwoofer.
CAUTION
Do not plug or unplug the system cable when the power cord is plugged in\
. You can damage the 
product.
Attaching the Toroidal Ferrite Core to the Power Cord of the Subwoofer
Attaching a Toroidal ferrite core to the power cord of the Subwoofer, 
helps prevent RF interference from radio signals.
Pull the fi xing tab of the Toroidal ferrite core to open it. 
Make three loops in the power cable of the subwoofer.
Attach the Toroidal ferrite core to the Subwoofer power cord as the fi\
 gure 
shows, and then press the core until it clicks.
Attaching the Toroidal Ferrite Core to the System Cable
Pull the fi xing tabs of three Toroidal ferrite cores to open them.
Place two cores on one end of the system cable, and one core on the othe\
r end of the system 
cable. Then, close each core and press it until you hear a click.
-  Do not make loops around the core with the system cable as you did with \
the power cord. 
Simply attach each core, close it, and then press it until it clicks.

Positioning the Control Unit and Speakers
Positioning the Control Unit
Place it on the highboy stand, on the wall, on a 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 TV’s screen size away 
from the TV.
Example :  For 32” TV’s 6.56 ~ 7.87 feet (2~2.4 m)     
For 55” TV’s 11.5 ~ 13.1 feet (3.5~4 m)
Positioning the SpeakersYour home theater offers two versions of Dolby Pro Logic, Pro Logic IIx \
and Pro Logic IIz. Pro Logic IIx provides 
a horizontal, 7.1 surround sound experience from stereo and 5.1 sources.\
 Sound comes from all around you, 
but on a horizontal plane. Pro Logic IIz adds a vertical dimension to th\
e 7.1 sound experience so that sounds 
that logically come from above - for example, rain drops falling on a ro\
of - will sound as if they are coming from 
above your head.
Each of these versions of Pro Logic requires that you place the Surround\
 Back Speakers differently. For Pro 
Logic IIx, you place the Surround Back Speakers behind the listening pos\
ition and 2.3 to 3.3 feet above your 
ears. For Pro Logic IIz, you place the Surround Back Speakers on the wal\
l in front of the listening position, at 
least 3.3 feet above the Front Speakers. The speaker placements for each\
 version of Pro Logic are displayed in 
the illustrations bellow.

Speakers Location
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 sam\
e height as 
your ear. Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face\
 of the center 
speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speakers.
Center Speaker fIt is best to install the center speaker at the same height as the Front\
 speakers. 
You can also install it directly over or under the TV.
Surround Speakershj
Place these speakers to the sides of your listening position. If there i\
sn’t enough 
room, place these speakers so they face each other. Position them about \
2 to 3 
feet (60 to 90 cm) above your ear, facing slightly downward.
*  Unlike the front and center speakers, the surround speakers are used to \
handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the ti\
me.
Surround Back Speakers SBLSBR
For Pro Logic IIx, place the surround back speakers behind the listening\
 position 
and about 2.3-3.3 feet (70 cm to 1 m) above your ears.
For Pro Logic IIz, place the speakers on the wall in front of the listen\
ing position 
and at least 3.3 feet above the front left and right speakers.
Subwoofer  gThe position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you \
like.
Hanging the Surround Back Speakers on a Wall
The Surround Back Speakers have a single wall hanging hole in the back. \
When you hang one of these 
speakers, you pass the head of the screw attached to the wall through th\
e wider portion at bottom of the 
hole, and then slide the speaker down so that it locks into place.
We recommend that you screw the support screws into studs. If this is no\
t practical, use dry wall mollies and 
screws designed to hold at least 20 pounds to ensure the speakers are pr\
operly supported.
NOTE
When installing speakers on a wall, make sure the speakers are fi rmly fi xed.
If you change the speaker positions, run the speaker calibration again.
When installing surround back speakers or front top channel speakers, so\
me of the speaker 
cables may be exposed.

Connecting Speaker Wire
Loosen a knob on the subwoofer by turning counterclockwise.
Match the polarity of the wire to the polarity of the terminal. The 
red wire is plus (+) and the black wire is minus (-).
Insert the bare part of the wire into the hole in the side of each 
terminal.
Tighten the knob by turning clockwise to secure the wire.
 NOTE
Keep the subwoofer speaker out of reach of children to prevent them from\
 inserting their hands or objects 
into the duct (hole).
Never touch speaker terminals while the power is on. Doing so could resu\
lt in electric shock.
Make sure the polarities (+ and -) are correct.
