Speaker layout

To obtain the best possible sound from this system, you need to place all the speakers except the subwoofer at the same distance from the listening position.

If your speakers cannot be placed at the same distance from the listening position

You can adjust the delay time of the speakers. See “Delay menu (DELAY)” on page 37.

NOTE

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

•The front and center speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, they 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.

•The surround speakers are not magnetically shielded.

If they are located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably cause color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the speakers nearby the TV or monitor.

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

Connecting a TV

•You can get better picture quality in the order — Component video > S-video > Composite video.

•Distortion of picture may occur when connecting to 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 36.)
