Speaker wires are colour-coded to match the colour- coded terminals.

4 ohm

(1)

	Connect the speaker wire to the corresponding colour
8 ohm	terminal at the back of the appliance. Press down the tab
	to open the terminal and insert the wire (1). Release the
	tab to lock the wire in the terminal (2). Do the same for
	the centre speaker, rear speakers and the subwoofer.

Note:When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the player) of the speaker wires and terminals match. If the wires are reversed, the sound will be distorted and lack bass (“out of phase” effect). Do not ground the output line, as this will damage the speaker.

Magnetic shielding

1Centre

In surround mode, the centre speaker transmits much of the dialogue as well as music and effects. It should be positioned between the left and right speakers.

2Left, Right (Front Speakers)

They mainly transmit music and sound effects.

3Surround (Rear Speakers)

Their overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper positioning is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field.

4Subwoofer

A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically increases the involvement with the action on the screen.

Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent picture distortion. Front and centre speakers supplied with this set are magnetically shielded to protect your TV set.

Note: It is not recommended to place the rear speakers and subwoofer near the TV set.
