Connections

This section describes 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

Surround Speakershj

Subwoofer

CAUTION

!

Do not let children play with or near the speakers. They could get hurt if a speaker falls.



When connecting the speaker wires to the speakers, make sure that the polarity (+/ –) is correct.



Keep the subwoofer speaker out of reach of children to prevent children from inserting their hands or



alien substances into the duct (hole) of the subwoofer speaker.
Do not hang the subwoofer on the wall through the duct (hole).



NOTE

✎

If you place a speaker near your TV set, the screen color may be distorted because of the magnetic



fi eld. If this occurs, place the speaker away from your TV set.

f

g

It is best to install the Center Speaker 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. Position them about 2 to
3 feet (60 to 90cm) above your ear, facing slightly downward.

Unlike the front and center speakers, the surround speakers are used mainly

*

for sound effects. Sound will not come from them all the time.

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.

Using HDMI, the product transmits a digital video and audio signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV having an HDMI
input jack.

HDMI connection description

•

- HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.

- If your TV does not support HDCP, random noise appears on the screen.

What is the HDCP?

•

HDCP (High-band width Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting BD/DVD content outputted via HDMI from being
copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video source (PC, DVD. etc) and a display device (TV, projector. etc). Content
is encrypted at the source device to prevent unauthorized copies from being made.
