•Place the satellite speakers on aflat and level surlace.
•The front and center speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color
distortinns on TVs. tiowever, il not installed properly, they may
cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the folk)wing when
installing/he speakers.
When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn ofl the TV's main
power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait
at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV's main power switch
again.
Some TVs may still be alfected even though you have followed/lie
above. II this happens, move the speakers away from/he TV.
• The surround speakers are not magnetically shielded.
If it is located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably cause
color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the
speaker nearby the TV or monitor.
• Be sure to place/he powered subwoofer to the TV's right. If you place
the powered subwoofer to the TV's left, keep sulficient distance
between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.
• You can get better picture quality in the order -- Component
vide() > S-video > Composite video.
• Distortion of picture may occur when connecting to the TV via a
VCR, or to a TV with a built-in VCR.
• You need to set "MONITOR TYPE" in the PICTURE menu
correctly according to the aspect ratio of your TV. C -"pg. 37)
