INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this Home Theater Surround Sound System. This deluxe audio theater system turns your home into a
virtual theater. In addition to the incredible surround sound of your current DVD player, this system also superbly enhances your
other audio sources, such as a CD player, computer, MP3 player, VCR, or a cassette deck. The only thing you need to add is your
own TV or other devices. We have designed this system to be easy to set up, but please, review this manual before you operate
your system. Please have it handy while you are setting the system up; and keep it available for future reference, or in the
unlikely event that you encounter any unexpected questions or problems. We have tried to keep this manual as simple as
possible. It begins with how to connect the speakers, your TV, and other optional devices. It also includes instructions on how to
position the speakers for the most natural surround sound. If you follow the instructions carefully you can have the system set up
in about an hour.

This system was designed to provide you with many years of reliable operation with a minimum of care and maintenance. Every
