This section involves various methods of connecting the product to other external components.
Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
Connecting the Speakers
Position of the product
Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the
TV stand.
Selecting the Listening Position
The listening position should be located about 2.5
to 3 times the distance of the TV's screen size
away from the TV.
Example : For 32" TV's 6.56 ~ 7.87 feet(2~2.4m)
For 55" TV's 11.5 ~ 13.1 feet(3.5~4m)
Front Speakers
ei
SW
Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°)
toward you. Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height
as your ear. Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the
center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speakers.
Center Speaker
Rear Speakers
Subwoofer
CAUTION
!
Do not let children play with or near the speakers. They could get hurt if the speaker falls.
When connecting the speaker wires to the speakers, make sure that the polarity (+/ –) is correct.
Keep the subwoofer out of the reach of children so as to prevent them from inserting their hands or alien
substances into the duct (hole) of the subwoofer.
Do not hang the subwoofer on the wall through the duct (hole).
NOTE
✎
If you place a speaker near your TV set, screen color may be distorted because of the magnetic fi eld
generated by the speaker. If this occurs, place the speaker away from your TV set.

It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers. You can also install it
directly over or under the TV.
Place these speakers to the side of your listening position. If there isn't enough
room, place these speakers so they face each other. Place them about 2 to 3
feet (60 to 90cm) above your ear, facing slightly downward.
Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used to handle
*
mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.
