•For optimal sound, use the supplied speakers.

•Do not connect more than one speaker to any pair of speaker jacks on the System.

•Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than 6 ohms.

•Sit in your usual listening position to set up the speaker balance. Details are on pages 52-53.

•To avoid magnetic interference, do not place the FRONT speakers too close to your TV.

•Placing the REAR (Surround) speakers farther from the listening position than the FRONT and CENTER speakers will weaken the Surround Sound effect.
