again.

• If the product makes an abnormal noise or produces
a burning smell or smoke, turn off the power switch
immediately and disconnect the power plug from
the wall outlet. Then, contact the nearest customer
service centre for technical assistance. Do not use the

Using the 3D Function

IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION FOR
3D PICTURES.
Read and understand the following safety information
before using the 3D function.

• Some viewers may experience discomfort while viewing
3D TV such as dizziness, nausea, and headaches.
If you experience any such symptom, stop viewing 3D
TV, remove the 3D Active Glasses, and rest.

• Watching 3D images for an extended period of time
may cause eye strain. If you feel eye strain, stop
viewing 3D TV, remove your 3D Active Glasses, and
rest.

• A responsible adult should frequently check on children
who are using the 3D function.
If there are any reports of tired eyes, headaches,
dizziness, or nausea, have the child stop viewing 3D
TV and rest.

• Do not use the 3D Active Glasses for other purposes
(such as general eyeglasses, sunglasses, protective
goggles, etc.)

• Do not use the 3D function or 3D Active Glasses while
walking or moving around. Using the 3D function or 3D
Active Glasses while moving around may cause you to
bump into objects, trip, and/or fall, and cause serious
injury.

• If you want to enjoy 3D content, connect a 3D device
(3D compliant AV receiver or TV) to the product’s HDMI
OUT port using a high-speed HDMI cable. Put on 3D
glasses before playing the 3D content.

• The product outputs 3D signals only through HDMI
cable connected to the HDMI OUT port.

• As the video resolution in 3D play mode is fixed
according to the resolution of the original 3D video, you
can not change the resolution to your preference.

• Some functions such as BD Wise, screen size
adjustment, and resolution adjustment may not operate
properly in 3D play mode.

• You must use a high-speed HDMI cable for proper
output of the 3D signal.

• Stay at least three times the width of the screen from
the TV when watching 3D images. For example, if
you have a 46 inch screen, stay 3.5 meters from the
screen.

• Place the 3D video screen at eye level for the best 3D
picture.

• When the product is connected to some 3D devices,
the 3D effect may not function properly.

• This product does not convert 2D content into 3D.

• “Blu-ray 3D” and “Blu-ray 3D” logo are trademarks of

Getting Started

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.

Subwoofer

Front (L)

Centre

Product

Front (R)

Surround (R)

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.

For example, if you have a 46 inch

screen, locate the listening position 2.92

to 3.50 meters from the screen.

Surround (L)

Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.

Front Speakers

Centre Speaker

Surround
Speakers

Subwoofer

* Surround speakers must be connected to the wireless receiver module.

Place the front 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 centre speaker or place them slightly
in front of the centre speakers.

It is best to install the Centre 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 60 to 90cm above your ear,
facing slightly downward.

* Unlike the front and centre 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.

Wireless Receiver Module

* This product should be connected with the SWA-6000 only.

| CAUTION |

If you want to install the product on the wall, fasten the screws or nails on the wall firmly and use the holes on the



rear of speaker to install. However, when you install it, accessories (nails or screws) and installation is not provided by
the company.
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 using the duct (hole).



The wireless receiving antenna is built into the wireless receiver module. Keep it away from water and moisture.



For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless receiver module location is clear of



any obstructions.
If you hear no sound from the wireless surround speakers, switch the mode to Dolby Pro Logic II.



In 2-CH mode, you will hear no sound from the wireless surround speakers.



| NOTES |

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



Place the wireless receiver module at the rear of the listening position. If the wireless receiver module is too close to



the product, sound from the speakers may be disrupted because of interference.
If you use a device such as a microwave oven, wireless LAN Card, Bluetooth equipment or any other device that uses



the 2.4/5.8GHz frequencies near the product, sound from the speakers may be disrupted because of interference.
The maximum transmission distance from the product to the wireless receiver module is about 10m, but may vary



depending on your operating environment. If a steel-concrete wall or metallic wall is between the product and the
wireless receiver module, the system may not operate at all, because the radio wave cannot penetrate metal.
If the product doesn't make a wireless connection, you need to run an ID Set between the product and wireless



receiver module. With the product turned off, press "0""1""3""5" on the remote control. Turn on the wireless
receiver module. Then, press and hold the “ID SET” button on the back of the wireless receiver module for 5
seconds, and then turn the product on.

Attaching the Toroidal Ferrite Core to the Power Cord of the Wireless Receiver Module (SWA-6000)

If you attach a Toroidal ferrite core to the power cord of the wireless receiver module, it
will help to prevent RF interference from radio signals.

1. Pull the fixing tab of the Toroidal ferrite core to open it.

2. Make a loop twice in the wireless receiver module power cord.

3. Attach the Toroidal ferrite core to the wireless receiver module power cord as the

figure shows and press it until it clicks.

• Insert the ferrite core as close to the Wireless Receiver Module as possible.
