Setting Up your System

Connecting to a TV

1 Disconnect the antenna or cable from your TV. 2

Connect the antenna or cable to the AERIAL of your System.

3 Connect black RF coaxial cable to the RF OUT on the rear

panel of the System and to the ANTENNA IN on the TV.

4 Connect the AV1 (TV) jack on the System to the correspond-

ing connector on the TV.

Note: – Ensure that the “TV” indication on SCART cable is con-

nected to the TV set and “DVD” indication on SCART cable is connected to the System.

5 Plug in the power cords of the TV and the System.

Basic Connections

• Please refer to the instruction books of your TV,VCR, Stereo System or other devices as necessary to make the best connections.

• Make one of the following connections, depending on the capabilities of your existing equipment.

The following guidelines are options for the best picture and sound quality available on your System.

Picture

1 Use SCART RGB Output (DVD/VCR(AV1 TV)) for best picture

quality (for DVD features).

2 Use S-VIDEO Output for the better picture quality (for DVD

features only).

3 Use SCART Composite Output for good picture quality (for

DVD and VCR features).

4 If your TV only has a RF-style (Antenna IN or 75 ohm) input,

use the RF OUT for connection and set your TV to channel 22 ~ 69 with the same channel for the System is set (for DVD and VCR features).

Sound

Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect the System DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL) to your amplifier or receiver (for DVD features only).

2 Use SCART Output (DVD/VCR(AV1 TV)) for better sound

quality (for DVD and VCR features).

Warning! – Never make or change connections with the power

switched on.

– Connect the System directly to your TV, instead of eg. a

VCR, to avoid distortion because DVD video discs are copy protected.

– If you use the Euro audio/video cable, it is not necessary

to use other audio cables.

Setting Up your System

Setting up Surround Sound

Connect all the speakers and set up the System properly in order to enjoy the Home Cinema experience.

1 Place the FRONT Left and Right speakers at equal distances

from the TV and at a 45-degree angle from the listening position.

2 Place the CENTER speaker above or below the TV to localize

the sound.

3 Place the REAR (Surround) speakers at normal listening ear

level, facing each other or mounted on the wall. Use the supplied mounting brackets to mount speakers to the wall.

4 Place the Subwoofer on the floor, near the TV.

Notes: – Connect the speaker wires correctly. Improper connec-

tions may short circuit the System. – For optimal sound, use the supplied speakers. – Do not connect more than one speaker to any pair of

speaker jacks on the System. – Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than

6 ohms. – Sit in your usual listening position to set up the speaker

balance. – To avoid magnetic interference, do not place the FRONT

speakers too close to your TV. – Placing the REAR (Surround) speakers farther from the

listening position than the FRONT and CENTER speak-

ers will weaken the Surround Sound effect. – Secure all speakers to prevent accidents and improve

sound quality. Use the supplied mounting brackets to

mount speakers to a wall.
