Connecting the Speakers

Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

Position of the DVD PlayerL R

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

Front Speakers ©

- Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.

- Place the 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 center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speakers.

Center Speaker

- It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers.

- You can also install it directly over or under the TV.

Selecting the Listening Position

- The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the distance of the TV's screen size away from the TV. Example :

For 32" TVs 2\~2.4m (6\~8feet)

For 55" TVs 3.5\~4m (11\~13feet)

Rear Speakers SL SR

- Place these speakers behind your listening position.

- If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each other.

- Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear, facing slightly downward.

* Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.

Subwoofer SW

- The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.

Connecting the Speakers

!

• 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 speaker out of reach of children so as to prevent children from inserting their hands or alien substances into the duct (hole) of the subwoofer speaker.
• Do not hang the subwoofer on the wall through the duck(hole)

#

- If you place a speaker near your TV set, screen color may be distorted because of the magnetic field generated by the speaker. If this occurs, place the speaker away from your TV set.

Connecting the Wireless Receiving Amplifier (Con't)

Resetting the Wireless Receiving Module

Reset the system if a communication failure occurs, or if the Link indicator (blue LED) on the wireless receiver does not light up and the "REAR CHECK" message blinks on the main unit's display.

Reset the system while the main unit and the wireless receiver module (SWA-3000) are in Power Standby mode.

1 With the main unit turned off, press and hold the remote control's RESERVE button for 5 seconds.

■ The STANDBY LED on the front panel of the wireless receiver module blinks.

2 With the wireless receiver module turned on, use a ball point pen or a toothpick to press the RESET button on the back of the unit.

■ If Power Standby mode continues, repeat Steps 1 to 3 above.

• When the wireless receiving module setting is complete, no audio signal is output from the Rear Speaker Output Connector on the back of the main unit.
• The wireless receiving antenna is built into the wireless receiver module. Keep the unit away from water and moisture.
• For optimal listening performance, make sure that the area around the wireless receiver module location is clear of any obstructions.
  • Sound will be heard from the wireless rear speakers in DVD 5.1-CH or Dolby Pro Logic II mode only.
• In 2-CH mode, no sound will be heard from the wireless rear speakers.

• Place the wireless receiver module at the rear of the listening position. If the wireless receiver module is too close to the main unit, some sound interruption may be heard due to interference.
• If you use a device such as a microwave oven, wireless LAN Card, Bluetooth equipment, or any other device that uses the same frequency (2.4GHz) near the system, some sound interruption may be heard due to interference.
• The transmission distance of radio wave is about 10m, but may vary depending on your operating environment. If a steel-concrete wall or metallic wall is between the main unit and the wireless receiver module, the system may not operate at all, because the radio wave cannot penetrate metal.
