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

2. Connect the wires to the speakers: Connect the black end of each wire to the terminals marked – (minus) and the other end to the terminals marked + (plus). Connect the other end of each wire to the correct speaker according to the color coding below.

Color	Speaker	Position
Grey	Rear	Rear right
Blue	Rear	Rear left
Green	Center	Center
Orange	Sub woofer	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, which may cause color irregularity on a TV or PC monitor screen. Please use the speakers far away from either a TV screen or PC monitor.

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

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

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

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

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

There are several ways to connect the unit to your TV. Use only one of the connection methods described below, depending on the capabilities of your equipment. Always connect the unit directly to the TV, not through a VCR, as the image could be distorted by copy protection systems.
