Attaching the speakers to the unit:

1. Connect the wires to the unit. Match each wire’s colored band to the same colored connection terminal on the rear of the unit. To connect the cable, press each plastic finger pad to open the connection terminal, insert the wire, and release the finger pad.

2. Connect the black end of each wire to the terminals marked – (minus) and the other end to the terminals marked + (plus).

3. Connect the other end of each wire to the correct speaker according to the color coding:

Color	Speaker	Position
Grey	Rear	Rear right
Blue	Rear	Rear left
Green	Center	Center
Orange	Subwoofer	Any front position
Red	Front	Front right
White	Front	Front left

CAUTION: Be careful to make sure children do not put their hands or any objects into the speaker duct (a hole for plentiful bass sound on the speaker cabinet). The speakers contain magnet parts, so color irregularity may occur on the TV screen or PC monitor screen. Please use the speakers far away from either TV screen or PC monitor.

For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the subwoofer should be placed at the same distance from the listening position.

• Front left (L) / Front right (R) speakers: Place the front speakers to the sides of the monitor or screen and as flush with the screen surface as possible.

• Center speaker: Place the center speaker above or below the monitor or screen.

• Surround left (L) / Surround right (R) speakers: Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards.

• Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections.

Make one of the following connections, depending on the capabilities of your existing equipment. Use only one of the connections described.
