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.
