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 and 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 
Center speaker or place them slightly in front of the Center speakers.
Center Speaker fIt is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers. You can also install it 
directly over or under the TV.
Surround Speakers
hj
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 Center speakers, the surround speakers are used to 
handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.
Subwoofer 
gThe position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.
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   
SW
CAUTION
Do not let children play with or near the speakers. They could get hurt if the speaker falls.
When connecting the speaker wires to the speakers, make sure that the polarity (+ /–) is correct.
   Keep the subwoofer out of the reach of children so as to prevent them from inserting their hands or alien 
substances into the duct (hole) of the subwoofer.
   Do not hang the subwoofer on the wall through the duct (hole).
NOTE
If you place a speaker near your TV set, screen Color may be distorted because of the magnetic field 
generated by the speaker. If this occurs, place the speaker away from your TV set.

mode when connecting an HDMI cable while power is on.
HDMI (High Defi nition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video source (PC, DVD. etc) and a 
display device (TV, projector. etc). Content is encrypted at the source device to prevent unauthorized 
copies from being made.
