pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay par-

ticular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point

where the cord exits the appliance. To disconnect

single sided disc - about 5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD.

industry (up to 1920 x 1080) - Large capacity means no compromise on

video quality. Furthermore, a BD-ROM disc has the same familiar size and

look as DVD.

Positioning the System

The following illustration shows an example of positioning the system.

Note that the illustrations in these instructions differ from the actual unit for

explanation purposes.

For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the

subwoofer should be placed at the same distance from the listening

position (A).

A Front left speaker (L)/ B Front right speaker (R):

Place the front speakers to the sides of the monitor or screen and as

flush with the screen surface as possible.

C Center speaker: Place the center speaker above or below the monitor

or screen.

D Surround left speaker (L)/ E Surround right speaker (R):

Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly

inwards.

F Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because

low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the

subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of

the room to reduce the wall reflections.

G Unit

To connect the cable to the speakers, press each plastic finger pad to open the

connection terminals on the base of each speaker. Insert the wire and release

the finger pad.

Be careful of the following

Be careful to make sure children not to put their hands or any objects into the

*speaker duct.

*Speaker duct: A hall for plentiful bass sound on speaker cabinet(enclosure).

HD AV Sync

Sometimes Digital TV encounters a delay between picture and sound. If this

happens you can compensate by setting a delay on the sound so that it

effectively ‘waits’ for the picture to arrive: this is called HD AV Sync.

Use v V to scroll up and down through the delay amount, which you can set

at anything between 0 and 300m sec.

The delay will vary depending on which digital TV channel you are on. If you

change channel you may need to readjust the HD AV Sync.
