NOTE

•Although the satellite speakers and the subwoofer are magnetically shielded, the TV screen may appear mottled. In this case, keep enough distance between the speakers and the TV.

•The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, it may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing the speakers.

-When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers.

Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power switch again.

Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.

•Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.

•Be sure to place the subwoofer to the TV’s right. If you place the subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient distance between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.

Connecting a TV

•Distortion of picture may occur when connecting the TV via a VCR, or to a TV with a built-in VCR.

•You need to set “MONITOR TYPE” in the PICTURE menu correctly according to the aspect ratio of your TV. (See page 32.)
