Notes
• Do not connect your TV's audio output jacks to
the LINE IN (R-AUDIO-L) jacks at the same
time. This will cause unwanted noise to come
from your TV's speakers.
• With connection B, do not connect the LINE IN
(R-AUDIO-L) and LINE OUT (R-AUDIO-L)
jacks to your TV's audio output jacks at the same
time. This will cause unwanted noise to come
from your TV's speakers.
• With connection A, after you have completed the
connection, make the appropriate settings under
"Easy Setup - Audio Connection" (page 23).
Otherwise, no sound or a loud noise will come
from your speakers.
