(3) Speaker Connection
Before Connecting
This DVD Home Cinema System is designed to reproduce optimum sound quality
when the supplied speakers are used. If you wish to connect other speakers to the
system instead of the supplied speakers, they should be 4 ohms impedance for the
speakers and 3 ohms impedance for subwoofer.
Ensure correct polarity when connecting speakers (colored wire for matched colour
terminal clip).
To prevent damage to circuits, never short-circuit the speaker output terminals.
Placement of speakers play an important role in the reproduction of surround
sound effect.
Particular attention should be taken when designing the speaker layout. For
the best surround effects, all speakers should be installed.
