WARNING: To reduce the risk of ﬁ re or electric shock, this apparatus should not be exposed to rain or moisture and objects ﬁ lled with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus.

If you or your family has a history of epilepsy or photosensitive seizures, consult a medical professional before exposing yourself to ﬂ ashing light sources, rapid image sequences or 3D viewing. To avoid discomfort such as dizziness, headache or disorientation, we recommend not watching 3D for extended periods of time. If you experience any discomfort, stop watching 3D and do not immediately engage in any potentially hazardous activity (for example driving a car) until your symptoms have disappeared. If symptoms persist, do not resume watching 3D without consulting a medical professional ﬁ rst. Parents should monitor their children during 3D viewing and ensure they do not experience any discomfort as mentioned above. Watching 3D is not recommended for children under six years of age as their visual system is not fully developed yet.

Connect speakers

The speaker cables are color-coded for easy connection. To connect a speaker to your home theater, match the color on the speaker cable to the color on the connector.

Speaker position plays a critical role in setting up a surround sound effect. For best effect, position all the speakers towards the seating position and place them close to your ear level (seated).

Note

• Surround sound depends on factors such as

room shape and size, type of wall and ceiling, windows and reﬂ ective surfaces, and speaker acoustics. Experiment with the speaker positions to ﬁ nd the optimum setting for you.

Follow these general guidelines for speakers placement.

1 Seating position:

This is the center of your listening area.

2 FRONT CENTER (front center) speaker:

Place the center speaker directly in front of the seating position, either above or below your TV.

3 FRONT LEFT (front left) and FRONT

RIGHT (front right) speakers:

Place the left and right speakers in the front, and at equal distance from the center speaker. Make sure that the left, right, and the center speakers are at equal distance from your seating position.

4 REAR LEFT (rear left) and REAR RIGHT

(rear right) speakers: Place the rear surround speakers to the left and right side of your seating position, either in line with it or slightly behind it.

5 SUBWOOFER (subwoofer):

Place the subwoofer at least one meter to the left or right of the TV. Leave about 10-centimeter clearance from the wall.
