Caution

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:

•

Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:(+) to (+)and (–)to (–). Use the correct type of batteries.Batteries that look similar may differ in voltage. Always replace both batteries at the same time. Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

Insert two 1.5V AAA

batteries, paying attention to the correct polarities (+ and –).

Replace the battery

cover.

Range of Operation of the Remote Control

The remote control can be used up to approximately 23 feet/7 meters in a straight line. It can also be operated at a horizontal angle of up to 30° from the remote control sensor.

Connecting the Speakers

Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

Center Speaker

Green

Position of the Home Theater

Place it on a stand, cabinet shelf, or under the

•

TV stand.

Front Speakers

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

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.

•

Wireless receiver

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" TVs 2~2.4m (6~8 feet)

For 55" TVs 3.5~4m (11~13 feet)

Rear Speakers

Place these speakers behind your listening position.

•

If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each

•

other. Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) 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.

Subwoofer

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical.

Place it anywhere you like.
