Connecting up

Make sure that the speaker cable you�re using is properly prepared with about 10 mm of insulator stripped from each wire, with the exposed wire strands twisted together (fig. A). Unscrew the terminal a few turns until there is enough space to insert the exposed wire (fig. B). Once the wire is in position, tighten the terminal until the wire is firmly clamped (fig. C).

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 you're using a center speaker, place the front speakers at a wider angle. If not, place them at a narrower angle. � Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen. Also, make sure the center speaker does not cross the line formed by the leading edge of the front left and right speakers. � It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening position. The angle depends on the size of the room. Use less of an angle for bigger rooms. � Surround and surround back speakers should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm higher than your ears and titled slightly downward. Make sure the speakers don't face each other. � 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 � 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.

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

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.
