the application software used to create the
disc. (Check with the software publisher for
more detailed information.)

Caution

>

yBe careful to make sure children not to put

their hands or any objects into the *speaker
duct.
*Speaker duct: A hole for plentiful bass
sound on speaker cabinet (enclosure).

yPlace the center speaker at a safe distance

from the child’s reach.
Otherwise it may result in the speaker falling
down and causing personal injury and/or
property damage.

yThe speakers contain magnetic parts, so

colour irregularity may occur on the CRT
TV screen or PC monitor screen. Please use
the speakers away from the TV screen or PC
monitor screen.

yBefore using the subwoofer, remove the

protective vinyl.

yThis product is specially designed to

produce the eect of the 3D Sound.
Other speakers may not operate normally
when connected.

Front left speaker (L)/
Front right speaker (R):

Place the front speakers to the sides of the monitor
or screen and as ush with the screen surface as
possible.

Center speaker:

Place the center speaker above or below the
monitor or screen.

Surround left speaker (L)/
Surround right speaker (R):

Place these speakers behind your listening position,
facing slightly inwards.

Subwoofer:

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical,
because low bass sounds are not highly directional.
But it is better to place the subwoofer near the
front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of
the room to reduce the wall reections.
