•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 and the subwoofer are not magnetically shielded.
If it is located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably cause color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the speaker nearby the TV or monitor.
