device.
Place the unit away from such a device.
Skipping sound
The waves have light-like characteristics, such as reflection, refraction,
and diffraction. Therefore, the strength (or lack of strength) of the
electric wave may cause the sound to stop, depending on the place.
Change the place of installation.
The distance between the front speaker (built-in transmitter) and
surround speaker (built-in receiver) is too long.
Maintain a maximum distance of 10 meters.
Sounds are suddenly (and continuously) skipped.

Install the equipment with enough distance from the other devices.
Static may appear on the television screen.
There is AV equipment with which the aerial is attached around the
front speaker (built-in transmitter).
Keep the front speaker (built-in transmitter) away from the aerial
input terminal of the AV equipment.
