Getting started

Main unit

The front speakers are the same as the surround speakers.

Locate the front, center and surround speakers at spots with approximately equal distance from the listening area. The angles in the figure are only rough.

Only the attached speakers can be adopted.

If other speakers are used, the unit may be damaged, and affect the sound quality. Locate speakers on level and reliable plane in case of falling. If you can not locate them on level planes, take suitable measures to prevent the unit falling.

Optimal location for enjoyment

The way in which the speakers are laid out will have influence upon bass and sound field; the aspects below should be regarded:

Locate speakers on level and reliable floor.

If the speakers are located too closely to floors, walls, or corners, extra bass will be generated, shield the walls and windows with thick curtains.

Main unit

To ensure good ventilation, the speaker and main unit must be kept at least 10 cm apart.

Center speaker

It is acceptable to put the speaker directly under the television.

If the middle speaker is placed directly on the television, the generated vibration may cause graphics image distortion.

Active Subwoofer

It should be located on the ground or stable support to the left of television for fear of generating vibration. To the right side of active subwoofer, there should be a space of 10cm in order to ensure the effective operation of the amplifier, and to the back panel of active subwoofer, there should be a space of 10cm in order to ensure ventilation.

Precautions on speaker operation

If the speakers are operated at high volume for long term, they may be damaged and their service life may be shortened. In following conditions, please reduce the volume in order to avoid damage.

- When the speakers give out distorted sound.

- When speakers receive the whistle form microphone or record player, the noises from the FM radio, or the continuous signals from oscillator, testing disc or electronic instruments.

- When sound quality is being adjusted.

- When you switch on or off the unit.

Warning

The speakers can be operated only together with the recommended devices, otherwise, the amplifier or speakers may be damaged, even leading to a fire. If there is any damage or you feel that there is certain abrupt change, consult professional maintainers Never hang these speakers in methods other than those described in the operating instruction.

If there are abnormal colors on the television

Although these speakers are designed to be located near televisions, with some combinations of television and equipment, the image may be affected.

If this happens, switch off the television for about 30 minutes.

The demagnetizing function of television can correct the problem; if the problem remains the same, locate the speakers farther from the television.

Glossary

Decoder

A decoder restores coded audio signals on DVDs to normal.

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that make moving pictures. About thirty are shown each second. A frame still may appear blurred but overall quality is high. Two fields appear alternately to make up one frame. A field still is not blurred but picture quality is lower. Interlace and progressive output NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480P.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.
