Connecting to Audio Components

Connecting the Speakers
Speaker wires are color-coded to match the

terminals. Connect the speaker wire from the

back of each speaker to the corresponding

color terminal at the back of the unit. Press

down the tab to open the terminal and insert

the wire. Release the tab to lock wire in

the terminal.

When connecting the speakers, make sure the

polarities (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the unit.

For example, red wire to red terminal on the

unit) of speaker wires and terminals match.

If the cords are reversed, the sound will

be distorted. Do not let the speaker wires

touch each other, it will damage

the speaker.

When connecting subwoofer, connect

subwoofer control cable (red/black striped) at

the back of the subwoofer to the subwoofer

control jack on the unit’s rear panel, then press

POWER ON/OFF

on the subwoofer speaker to

Set up and Maintenance of

the Unit
Provide spaces for su cient ventilation

as indicated:

Do not connect to the AC power cords until

all connections are completed.

Do not use your set immediately after

transferring it from a cold place to a warm

place: there is risk of condensation.

Do not expose your set to water and

excessively high temperatures.

After having disconnected your set, clean the

case with a soft cloth, or with a slightly damp

leather chamois. Never use strong solvents.

Protect your Components from

Overheating

Do not block ventilation holes in any

component. Arrange the components so that

air can circulate freely.

Do not stack components directly on top of

each other.

Do not place the unit near other components

that generate heat such as heating vents.

Allow adequate ventilation when placing

your components in a stand.

Place an

near the top shelf of the

stand so heated air rising from it will not

a ect other components. If you have a

satellite receiver, you should place it on the

top shelf.

TV Connections
TVs with RF input may need a RF modulator

(not included) for inputting audio signals.

The illustration shown above may varies from

your actual RF modulator, please refer to your

RF modulator manual.

Connecting the Antennas
Connect the AM and FM antennas to the AM

and FM terminals on the system’s back panel.

They must be hooked up in order to receive

clear reception. For FM reception, extend

antenna to its full length. For AM reception,

rotate the antenna horizontally to get

better reception.

AM Loop Antenna and FM Indoor Antenna

1. Uncoil the antenna wire and locate the base

end of the AM antenna.

2. Press down on the antenna tab to open

the terminal.

3. Insert the antenna wires into the terminal

and release the tabs to secure the wires

in place.

4. Make sure the white wire on the AM loop

antenna is inserted into the AM LOOP

terminal and other wire is inserted into the

ground loop terminal.

Portable Cart Warning

Positioning Speakers

1. Left, Right (Front Speakers)

Front speakers carry primarily music and

sound e ects.

2. Center

In surround mode, the center speaker carries

most of the dialog as well as music and e ects.

It should be set between the left and

right speakers.

3. Surround (Rear Speakers)

The rear speakers’ overall sound balance should

be as close as possible to the front speakers.

Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly

distributed sound

Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful

low bass e ects (explosions, the rumble of

spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heighten

the action on the screen.

Magnetic Shielding
Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV

set must be magnetically shielded in order to

prevent picture distortion. Front speakers

provided with this unit are magnetically

shielded to protect your TV set.

Front Speaker Placement
Follow the suggestions for speaker placement

below to get the best results.

Alignment

Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or

slightly behind (B) (the left and right speakers),

but not ahead of them.

Angle

Place the left and right speakers to form a 45-

degree angle with your favorite viewing

position to duplicate the soundtrack

mixer’s perspective.

Height

The mid- and high-frequency drivers of the

three front speakers should be as close as

possible to the same height. This often requires

placing the center speaker directly on top (A)

or beneath (B) the TV set.

Better Surround Placement
Location

If possible, place surround speakers to either

side of the listening area, not behind it.

Height

If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3

feet above viewers. This helps to minimize

localization e ects.

Aiming

Aim surround speakers straight across the

room, not down at viewers, to help create a

more open, spacious surround sound

Alternative Surround Placement
Rear wall

If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim

the speakers at each other (A), towards the

front (B) or towards the sidewalls (C, D).

Experiment with placement until sounds seem

to surround you, rather than come from

behind you.

No adjacent walls

Surround speakers can go on stands facing

each other to approximate sidewall mounting

(A), or to the sides or rear of the viewing area,

aimed upwards; they can go right on the

or preferably, a few feet o the

such as

on end tables (B).

Front Surround Mode

Speaker Placement

Follow the suggestion for speaker placement in

the section before.

If placing the rear speakers (surround speakers)

at the back is not a good choice for you, you

can use the Front Surround sound E ect(FSsE).

Follow the following instruction for setting

the speakers. (See section “Front Surround

Sound E ect (FSsE) Setting” under “Advanced

Sound Control” for details).

Mounting the Speakers

1. Place the front speaker upside down.

2. Slide in the hinge to the bottom of the front

speaker until the ‘click’ sound is heard.

3. Slide in the rear speaker to the hinge until

the ‘click’ sound is heard.

4. Attach the supplied speaker stand to the

top of the front speaker.

Adjusting the Angle of the Speakers

To achieve the best Front Surround sound

E ect (FSsE), adjust the mounted front left and

the rear left speakers to the left for an angle of

25o - 45 o from the center.

Adjust the mounted front right and rear right

speakers to the right in the same way.

After adjusting the angle, the speaker should

look like this illustration.

Disconnecting the Speakers
1. To unlock the speakers, press and hold the

hinge spring as illustrated below.

2. Slide out the rear speaker from the hinge.

3. Press and hold the two hinge springs.

4. Slide out the hinge from the front speaker.
