Connecting the speakers
8 ohm

4 ohm
Six speakers are provided with the appliance (2 front,1
centre,2 rear, 1 subwoofer).In order to enjoy good
surround effects,all six speakers need to be connected to
the player.
Speaker wires are colour-coded to match the colour-
coded terminals.
Connect the speaker wire to the corresponding colour
terminal at the back of the appliance.Press down the tab
to open the terminal and insert the wire (1).Release the
tab to lock the wire in the terminal (2).Do the same for
the centre speaker,rear speakers and the subwoofer.
Note:When connecting the speakers,make sure the polarities
(“+”speaker wire to “+”on the player) of the speaker wires
and terminals match. If the wires are reversed,the sound will
be distorted and lack bass (“out of phase” effect).Do not
ground the output line,as this will damage the speaker.

1 Centre
In surround mode,the centre speaker transmits much of
the dialogue as well as music and effects.It should be
positioned between the left and right speakers.
2 Left,Right (Front Speakers)
They mainly transmit music and sound effects.
3 Surround (Rear Speakers)
Their overall sound balance should be as close as possible
to the front speakers.Proper positioning is vital to
establish an evenly distributed sound field.
4 Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass
effects (explosions,the rumble of spaceships,etc.) which
dramatically increases the involvement with the action on
the screen.
Magnetic shielding
Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be magnetically shielded in order to
prevent picture distortion.Front and centre speakers supplied with this set are magnetically
shielded to protect your TV set.
Note:It is not recommended to place the rear speakers and subwoofer near the TV set.
