Connecting your equipment

Connecting the speakers
Before you can start connecting the speakers, make sure that the speaker cable you�re going to use is properly prepared with about 10mm of insulator stripped from each wire, and the exposed wire strands twisted together.

Placing the speakers
Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system. � The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about ear-level when you�re listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended.

Each speaker connection on the receiver comprises a positive (+) colored, and negative (�) black terminal. For proper sound you should take care to match these up with the terminals on the speakers themselves. To assist you, use the supplied colored self-adhesive tags, affixing a tag to each end of one half of each cable. Use the tagged wire for the colored/positive terminal; use the untagged wire for the black/negative terminal. Use the different colors to help you identify which speaker cable attaches to which speaker. Caution � Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure. � These speaker terminals can be under HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE. When you connect or disconnect the speaker cables, to prevent the risk of electric shock, do not touch uninsulated parts before disconnecting the power cord. 1 Connect the front left and right speakers to the FRONT L/R speaker terminals. Press the spring-loaded tab to open a terminal, insert the speaker wire, then release the tab to secure.

� For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2�3 m apart, at equal distance from the TV. � Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen. � When placing speakers near the TV, use magnetically shielded speakers to prevent possible interference, such as discoloration of the picture when the TV is switched on. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV picture, move the speakers farther away from the TV. � If possible, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level.

Caution � Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.
