Speaker layout

To obtain the best possible sound from this system, you need to
place all the speakers except the subwoofer at the same distance
from the listening position.

If your speakers cannot be placed at the same distance from the
listening position
You can adjust the delay time of the speakers. See "Delay menu
(DELAY)" on page 35.
NOTE
• Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.
• The front and center speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color
distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, they may cause
color distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing
the speakers.
– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off 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 affected even though you have followed the
above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.
• The surround speakers are not magnetically shielded.
If they are located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably cause
color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the speakers
nearby the TV or monitor.
• Be sure to place the powered subwoofer to the TV's right. If you place
the powered subwoofer to the TV's left, keep sufficient distance
between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.

What is HDMI?
The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is the
standard interface for the next-generation TV. By connecting this
system and a TV with the HDMI cable, digital video signals and
audio signals are transmitted through the cable. You can enjoy
digital video and sound without AD/DA conversion with easy
connection.
In addition, this system is compatible with HDCP (High-
Bandwidth Digital Content Protection), and HDCP contents can
be viewed if you connect a HDCP compatible TV to this system.

in the order — Component video > S-video > Composite video.

quality picture by setting the progressive scan mode to active.
