Connect all speakers in the same manner.

Cautions

To prevent damage to circuits, never short-circuit the speaker output terminals.

Do not remove too much insulation from the wire cables to avoid the stripped

portions from touching each other. The optimal length for the stripped part should be around 1/3 inch (or 1cm).

Do not push the stripped part too far into the speaker connectors.

Do not connect more than one speaker to any one pair of speker terminals.

Do not connect speakers with ampedance lower than the speakers supplied.

Positioning the speakers

To listen to the sound from an external music device, such as an MP3, CD, or MD player, through the speakers of this unit, connect the AUX IN jack of this unit to the headphone output of your music device with an audio cable, then press SOURCE to select AUX.

Where you place speakers plays an important role in the reproduction of the surround sound effect. Pay particular attention when planning speaker layout. For the best surround effects, all speakers should be installed.

To place the speakers:

Place the front left and right speakers to the left hand and right hand sides of your TV.

All speakers should be approximately the same distance from your listening position and must be visible.
