Setting up the system

Make connections as shown in the following pages.

When connecting the related system components, be sure to refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the components you are connecting.

Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all connections are completed.

Notes:

1.Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are imperfect, the sound may not be produced or there will be noise interference.

2.Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging or unplugging any connection cords. Plugging/ unplugging connection cords without disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions and may damage the unit.

Analog connections

Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer stereo audio signal in an "analog" form. This means the audio signal corresponds to the actual audio of two channels.

These cables usually have 2 plugs at each end, red for the right channel and white for the left channel. These cables are usually packed together with the source unit, or are available at your local electronics retailer.

Microcomputer malfunction

If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears, even though all connections have been made properly, reset the microcomputer by referring to <Troubleshooting>. fl

¤CAUTION

The power of this equipment will not be completely cut off from the wall outlet when the power switch is turned off. Install the equipment so that the wall outlet is easily accessible and, in case of emergency, immediately unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

¤CAUTION

Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventilation will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard.

•Leave some space around the unit (from the largest outside dimension including projection) equal to or greater than, shown below.

Side panel : 10 cm

Back panel : 10 cm

•This unit is using the cooling fan. Do not place the unit onto a bed, a sofa, a carpet, or similar. Sucked-in dust can cause fire.

Front speakers:

Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV. Angle the speakers towards the listening area to enhance the stereo effect.

Center speaker:

Place the center speaker on the center between the front left and right speakers. Tilt the speaker upward or down-ward so that it is directly facing the listening area.

Surround speakers:

Place the surround speakers as high as possible, either directly to the sides of the listening area or else slightly behind the listening area. Adjust the angles so that these speakers are facing directly towards the listeners.

Subwoofer:

Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in the listening room, near one of the front speakers. (Since the subwoofer has less directivity than other speakers, it can be placed almost in any position that can offer the best low frequency reproduction according to the room layout.)

Note:

•Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers listed above, if you don’t have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you can divide those signals between the available speakers in the speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround reproduction from the speakers you have available.
