This device generates and uses radio frequency
(RF) energy, and if not installed and used
properly, this equipment may cause
interference to radio and television reception.
If this equipment does cause interference to
radio or television reception (which you can
determine by unplugging the unit), try to

following measures:
• Re-orient the receiving antenna (that is, the
antenna for the radio or television that is
"receiving" the interference).
• Move the unit away from the equipment
that is receiving interference.
• Plug the unit into a different wall outlet so
that the unit and the equipment receiving
interference are on different branch circuits.
If these measures do not eliminate the
interference, please consult your dealer or an
experienced radio/television technician for
additional suggestions.

Connections and Setup
Connecting to Audio Components
Digital Connection
• This unit provides one optical and one coaxial digital input jacks for the connection of
your components.
• To connect a SAT receiver or DVD player with a digital output, use an optical digital cable (not
included) or coaxial digital cable (included) to carry the audio signal and enjoy Dolby Digital
sound quality.
• One optical or coaxial cable is needed for each SAT receiver or DVD player.
Note: Optical and coaxial cables carry only the audio portion of the signal.
Connections and Setup
Better Surround Placement
Location
If possible, place surround speakers to either
side of the listening area, not behind it.
Height
If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3
feet above viewers. This helps to minimize
localization effects.
Aiming
Aim surround speakers straight across the
room, not down at viewers, to help create a
more open, spacious surround sound field.

Alternative Surround Placement
Rear wall
B
If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim
the speakers at each other (A), towards the
front (B) or towards the sidewalls (C, D).
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories
Experiment with placement until sounds seem
to surround you, rather than come from
behind you.
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories
No adjacent walls
Surround speakers can go on stands facing
each other to approximate sidewall mounting
(A), or to the sides or rear of the viewing area,
aimed upwards; they can go right on the floor,
or preferably, a few feet off the floor such as
on end tables (B).
