there might be environmental regulations that require
you to dispose of these batteries properly. Please
contact your local authorities for disposal or recycling
information.
●
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or
adaptors beyond their capacity, since this can result in
fire or electric shock.

Route power-supply cords so that they are not likely
to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or
against them. Pay particular attention to cords at the
plug end, at wall outlets, and the point where they
exit from the apparatus.
●
To protect this apparatus from a lightning storm,
or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will

Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about
45°) toward you. 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 center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center
speakers.

Selecting the Listening Position
The listening position should be
located about 2.5 to 3 times the
TV's screen size away from the
TV. For example, if you have a 46
inch screen, locate the listening
position 115 to 138 inches (9.6 to
11.5 feet) from the screen.

* The appearance of your speakers may differ from the illustrations in this manual.
* Each speaker has a colored label on its back or underside. Each cable has a single colored band near its end.
Match the band on each cable to the speaker label by color, and then connect the cable to the speaker. See
page 10 for exact instructions.
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 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.
