or “1.0ch” is displayed in the front panel 
display, the signal is stereo or monaural and

cord or audio cord that is connected to the 
stand and the TV (page 9).

cord (mains lead), wait 15 seconds or more 
before operating the stand.

component and the stand using other than an 
HDMI cable, no sound may be output
