Making audio connections
To listen to the sound from an external music
device, such as an MP3, CD, or MD player,
through the speakers of this unit, connect the
AUX IN jack of this unit to the headphone output
of your music device with an audio cable, then
press SOURCE to select AUX.
Connecting speakers
Connect all speakers in the same manner.
Positioning the speakers
Where you place speakers plays an important
role in the reproduction of the surround sound
effect. Pay particular attention when planning
speaker layout. For the best surround effects, all
speakers should be installed.
To place the speakers:
• Place the front left and right speakers to the
left hand and right hand sides of your TV.
All speakers should be approximately the
same distance from your listening position
and must be visible.

Note
This shelf system is designed to reproduce
optimum sound quality when the supplied
speakers are used. If you want to connect other
speakers to the system instead of the supplied
speakers, they should have 4 ohms impedance.
Ensure correct polarity when connecting speakers
(colored wire for matched colored terminal clip).
Cautions
• To prevent damage to circuits, never
short-circuit the speaker output terminals.
• Do not remove too much insulation from the
wire cables to avoid the stripped
• portions from touching each other. The optimal
length for the stripped part should be around
1/3 inch (or 1cm).
• Do not push the stripped part too far into the
speaker connectors.
• Do not connect more than one speaker to any
one pair of speker terminals.
• Do not connect speakers with ampedance
lower than the speakers supplied.
