Audio Component Hookups, Connecting your TV

Getting Started

STEP 3 Connecting your TV

If the audio and video output terminals on your TV and VCR are already connected, and your TV has stereo AUDIO OUT jacks, you can start enjoying surround sound simply by connecting the speaker system to your TV as shown below.

Important

•Set the volume on your TV to MIN (minimum).

•If your TV has an ON/OFF switch for its internal speaker, set it to OFF and enjoy the sound from this speaker system.

If you use AUDIO OUT jacks marked VARIABLE

After making the connection as shown above, turn up the volume on the TV. Use this speaker system‘s volume control for regular volume adjustment. Turning down the volume on the TV reduces the AUDIO OUT signal level and may cause a loss in sound quality and/or the auto-power off function (see page 11) to function.

For the best possible sound (or if your TV only has a monaural AUDIO OUT jack, or no AUDIO OUT jacks)

Connect the speaker system directly to your VCR or cable box.

The following connections suppress noise from the TV and let you enjoy high quality sound.

1Connect your VCR or cable box to the 1 IN jacks on the left front speaker.

2Connect your TV to the TO TV jacks on the left front speaker.
