The main unit may block or interfere with the TV’s various sensors (C.A.T.S. (Contrast Automatic Tracking System) sensor, remote control sensor, etc.) and the 3D Eyewear transmitters on a 3D compatible TV.

≥If interference occurs, move the main unit further away from the TV. If the TV still does not function correctly, try using it in a rack or in the wall mount position.

If the TV’s remote control sensor is blocked by the main unit

Try using the TV’s remote control from a different angle. If the problem persists, you can use the supplied IR Blaster to relay the signal to the TV. (> p. 11, 12)

Place the active subwoofer within a few meters of the main unit and in a horizontal position with the top panel facing upward.

Do not use the main unit or the active subwoofer in a metal cabinet.

Placing the active subwoofer too close to the walls and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.

If irregular coloring occurs on your TV, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes. If it persists, move the main unit and active subwoofer further away from the TV.

Keep magnetized items away. Magnetized cards, watches, etc., can be damaged if placed too close to the main unit and active subwoofer.
