If you connect a digital satellite receiver with an DIGITAL OUT 
(COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack
The digital satellite receiver can be connected to the VIDEO (OPTICAL DIGITAL IN) or SAT 
(COAXIAL DIGITAL IN) jack instead of the VIDEO AUDIO IN jacks of the system.
The system can accept both the digital and analogue signals. Digital signals have priority over analogue 
signals. If the digital signal ceases, the analogue signal will be processed after 2 seconds.
If you connect a digital satellite receiver without an DIGITAL OUT jack
Connect the digital satellite receiver to the VIDEO AUDIO IN jacks only of the system.
To listen to the portable audio source sound through the system
Connect the audio output jacks of the portable audio source to the AUDIO IN jack on the front panel 
of the system with the stereo mini-plug cord (not supplied).
 Be sure to make connections securely to avoid hum and noise.
 When you connect another component to the system, you can enjoy the component by pressing FUNCTION 
(page 77).

Positioning the speakers
For the best possible surround sound, all the 
speakers other than the subwoofer should be the 
same distance from the listening position (A). 
However, this system allows you to place the 
center speaker up to 1.6 meters (5 ft) closer (B) 
and the surround speakers up to 5.0 meters (16 
ft) closer (C) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 
7.0 meters (4 to 23 ft) (A) from the listening 
position.
Place speakers as illustrated below.
 Do not place the center and surround speakers farther 
away from the listening position than the front 
speakers.
If you encounter color irregularity 
on a nearby TV screen
The front and center speakers and the subwoofer 
are magnetically shielded to allow it to be 
installed near a TV set. However, color 
irregularities may still be observed on certain 
types of TV sets. As the surround speakers are 
not magnetically shielded, we recommend that 
you place the surround speakers slightly further 
away from TV set.
If color irregularity is observed...
Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on again 
after 15 to 30 minutes.
