Caution

• These speaker terminals carry

HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage

. To prevent

the risk of electric shock when connecting
or disconnecting the speaker cables,
disconnect the power cord before touching
any uninsulated parts.

• 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.

Hints on speaker placement

Speakers are usually designed with a
particular placement in mind. Some are
designed to be floorstanding, while others
should be placed on stands to sound their best.
Some should be placed near a wall; others
should be placed away from walls. We have
provided a few tips on getting the best sound
from your speakers (following), but you should
also follow the guidelines on placement that
the speaker manufacturer provided with your

particular speakers to get the most out of them.

• Place the front left and right speakers at

equal distances from the TV.

• When placing speakers near the TV, we

recommend using 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.

• Place the center speaker above or below

the TV so that the sound of the center
channel is localized at the TV screen.

• If possible, place the surround speakers

slightly above ear level.

• Try not to place the surround speakers

further away from the listening position
than the front and center speakers. Doing
so can weaken the surround sound effect.

• To achieve the best possible surround

sound, install your speakers as shown
below. Be sure all speakers are installed
securely to prevent accidents and improve
sound quality.

Caution

• If you choose to install the center speaker

on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with
putty, or by other suitable means, to reduce
the risk of damage or injury resulting from
the speaker falling from the TV in the event
of external shocks such as earthquakes.

• Make sure no exposed speaker wire is

touching the rear panel, this may cause the
receiver to turn off automatically.
