Note on Connection
Installation of speakers and positioning of TV
1. If a speaker is installed near a TV, color irregularities
may be observed on the TV screen. To avoid this, install the speakers apart from a TV.
2. Color irregularities on the TV screen may also be produced depending on the method how the speakers are
installed. When color irregularities are observed after
the speaker installation, first turn the TV off, wait for 15
Preparation section
to 30 minutes and turn it on again: The interference
may be improved by the self-demagnetizing function of
the TV. If the color irregularities still remain, install the
speakers more apart from the TV.
3. Due to induction by the electromagnetic waves produced by a TV, the speakers may produce sound
even when the stereo unit is turned off. In this case
also, install the speakers more apart from the TV.
AM loop antenna
The supplied antenna is for indoor use. Place it
as far as possible from the main system, TV set,
speaker cords and power cord, and set it to a direction which provides the best reception.
