Position of the product

Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand.

Selecting the Listening Position

The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the TV's screen size away from the TV. For example, if you have a 46 inch screen, locate the listening position 2.92 to 3.50 meters from the screen.

Front SpeakersPlace these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you. Place the front speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ear. Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the centre speaker or place them slightly in front of the centre speakers.
Centre SpeakerIt is best to install the Centre Speaker at the same height as the front speakers. You can also install it directly over or under the TV.
Surround SpeakersPlace these speakers to the side of your listening position. If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each other. Position them about 60 to 90cm above your ear, facing slightly downward.* Unlike the front and centre speakers, the surround speakers are used mainly for sound effects. Sound will not come from them all the time.
SubwooferThe position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.

* The appearance of your speakers may differ from the illustrations in this manual.
* Match the speaker cables to the coloured label on the back of the speaker, and then plug them into the jack of the same colour. See page 9 for exact instructions.

If you place a speaker near your TV set, the screen colour may be distorted because of the magnetic field.

| CAUTION |

If you want to install the speakers on the wall, fasten screws or nails (not provided) firmly to the wall wherever you want to hang a speaker, and then, using the hole in the rear of each speaker, carefully hang each speaker on a screw or nail.
Do not let children play with or near the speakers. They could get hurt if a speaker falls.
When connecting the speaker wires to the speakers, make sure that the polarity (+/−) is correct.
Keep the subwoofer speaker out of reach of children to prevent children from inserting their hands or alien substances into the duct (hole) of the subwoofer speaker.

About RDS Broadcasting

Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to

receive FM stations

RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals.

For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.

Description on RDS function

• PTY (Program Type) : Displays the type of program currently being broadcast.
- PS NAME (Program Service Name) : Indicates the name of broadcasting station and is composed of 8 characters.
- RT (Radio Text) : Decodes the text broadcast by a station (if any) and is composed of maximum 64 characters.
- CT (Clock Time) : Decodes the real time clock from the FM frequency. Some stations may not transmit PTY, RT or CT information therefore this may not be displayed in all cases.
- TA (Traffic Announcement) : TA ON/OFF it shows that the traffic announcement is in progress.

Using Bluetooth

You can use a Bluetooth device to enjoy music with high quality stereo sound, all without wires!

  • Pairing distance: max. 2 meters, Operating distance: max. 10 meters.
  • Actual Bluetooth performance may differ depending on your environment, even if you use your Bluetooth device within the specified operating distance.

What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a technology that enables Bluetooth-compliant devices to interconnect with each other easily using a short, wireless connection.

• A Bluetooth device may hum or malfunction:
- When a part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth device or the Home Cinema.
- When it is subject to electrical variation from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or office partitioning.

Playing Content

- When it is exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including medical equipment, microwave ovens, and wireless LANs.

  • Pair the Home Cinema with the Bluetooth device while the two are close together.
  • The further the distance is between the Home Cinema and the Bluetooth device, the worse the quality is.
    If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.
  • In poor reception-sensitivity areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly. The Home Cinema has an effective reception range of up to 10 meters in all directions if there are no obstacles. The connection will be automatically cut off if the device is out of this range. Even within this range, the sound quality may be degraded by obstacles such as walls or doors.
  • This wireless device may cause electrical interference. during its operation.
