Disconnect the FM indoor antenna.
•
The antenna should be installed by a

Connect AC mains lead after all other cables and cords are connected.
The included AC mains lead is for use with this unit only. Do not use it with other equipment.
•
Do not use an AC mains lead from other equipment.
•
If the unit is left unplugged for longer than two weeks, all settings will revert to the factory settings. Perform the settings again if this occurs.
•
Using headphones
Press [SPEAKERS A] and [SPEAKERS B] to turn
1.
off the speakers.
Reduce the volume and connect the headphones.
2.

Note
Avoid listening for prolonged periods of time to prevent hearing
•
damage.
Turning the speakers off automatically engages stereo play, and
•
when you play multi-channel sources they are down-mixed (2CH
MIX). (Some DVD-Audio prohibit down-mixing.)
Note that if you are using DVD 6CH input (➡ page 20), the input
•
source switches to “DVD” (2 channel) and only the sound for the
front speakers is output.

Connecting speakers
Connections and placement to suit the number of speakers you have
The ideal is to have all the speakers (except the subwoofer) at equal distances from the seating area.
Auto speaker setup compensates for any differences (➡ pages 14 to 16).
Front speakers (left , right )
Place either side of the television, then adjust their position and angle towards the
seating position until you are satisfied with the relationship between the images and
sound.
Center speaker ( )
Place directly above or below the center of the television, aiming at the seating position.
Surround speakers (left , right )
Place on either side of or slightly behind the seating area, about one meter higher than
ear level.
Surround back speakers (left , right / when you connect only one
speaker )
Place behind the seating area, about one meter higher than ear level.
Speaker connections
Subwoofer ( )
Place anywhere near the television (but not so close as to cause excessive vibration).
