A Place the front left and right speakers at

equal distances from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position.

B Place the center speaker above the TV or

the main unit so that the center channel’s sound is localized.

C Place the rear speakers at normal

listening ear level facing each other or hang on the wall.

D Place the subwoofer at the corner of the

room. Otherwise, keep it at least one meter away from the TV.

 It provides excellent picture quality.

Basic Connections (cont inued)

English

Option 3

DOCK

Option 3: Connecting to a Progressive Scan TV or component video input

The progressive scan video quality is only available when using Y Pb Pr connection and a progressive scan TV is required. It provides superior picture quality when watching DVD movies.

A Use the component video cables (red/

blue/green - not supplied) to connect the Y Pb Pr jacks on the main unit to the corresponding component video input jacks (or labeled as Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr or YUV) on the TV.

B If your TV accepts progressive signals,

proceed to chapter ‘Getting Started Setting up Progressive Scan feature’ for detailed progressive feature setup.

Option 4

Option 4: Connecting to a HDMIcompatible TV
