When you connect a subwoofer with an auto
standby function, turn off the function when
watching movies. If the auto standby function is
set to on, it turns to standby mode automatically
based on the level of the input signal to a
subwoofer, then sound may not be output.
Note
Before connecting the AC power cord (mains lead),
make sure that metallic wires of the speaker cords
are not touching each other between the
SPEAKERS terminals.
