the house).
- Accumulated dust can cause an electric shock, an
electric leakage, or a fire by causing the power cord
to generate sparks and heat or the insulation to
deteriorate.
~ Contact an authorized service center for information
if you intend to install your product in a location with
heavy dust, high or low temperatures, high humidity,
chemical substances, or where it will operate 24 hours
a day such as in an airport, a train station, etc. Failing
to do so may lead to serious damage of your product.
~ Use only a properly grounded plug and wall outlet.

3D TV such as dizziness, nausea, and headaches.
If you experience any such symptom, stop viewing 3D
TV, remove the 3D Active Glasses, and rest.
~ Watching 3D images for an extended period of time
may cause eye strain. If you feel eye strain, stop
viewing 3D TV, remove your 3D Active Glasses, and

resolution of the original 3D video. You cannot change
the resolution to your preference.
~ Some functions such as BD Wise, screen size
adjustment, and resolution adjustment may not operate
properly in 3D play mode.
~ You must use a high-speed HDMI cable for proper
output of the 3D signal.
~ Stay at least three times the width of the screen from
the TV when watching 3D images. For example, if
you have a 46 inch screen, stay 3.5 meters from the

Connections
This section describes various methods of connecting the product to other external components.
Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

Position of the product
Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf,
or under the TV stand.
Selecting the Listening Position
Front (R)
Subwoofer
Center
Surround (R)
Product
Front (L)
The listening position should be
located about 2.5 to 3 times the
TV's screen size away from the TV.
For example, if you have a 46 inch
screen, locate the listening position
2.92 to 3.50 meters from the screen.
Surround (L)
Front Speakers
Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about
45°) toward you. Place the front speakers so that their tweeters will be at the
same height as your ear. Align the front face of the front speakers with the front
face of the center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speakers.
Center Speaker
It is best to install the center speaker at the same height as the front speakers.
You can also install it directly over or under the TV.
Surround Speakers
Place these speakers to the side of your listening position. If there isn't enough
room, place these speakers so they face each other. Position them about 60 to
90cm above your ear, facing slightly downward.
* Unlike the front and center speakers, the surround speakers are used mainly
for sound effects. Sound will not come from them all the time.
Subwoofer
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.
* The appearance of your speakers may differ from the illustrations in this manual.
* Each speaker has a colored label on its back or underside. Each cable has a single colored band near
its end. Match the band on each cable to the speaker label by color, and then connect the cable to
the speaker. See page 9 for exact instructions.

| CAUTION |
If you want to install the speakers on the wall, fasten screws or nails (not provided) firmly to the wall wherever
you want to hang a speaker, and then, using the hole in the rear of each speaker, carefully hang each
speaker on a screw or nail.
Do not let children play with or near the speakers. They could get hurt if a speaker falls.
When connecting the speaker wires to the speakers, make sure that the polarity (+/–) is correct.
Keep the subwoofer speaker out of reach of children to prevent children from inserting their hands or alien
substances into the duct (hole) of the subwoofer speaker.

What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a technology that enables Bluetoothcompliant devices to interconnect with each other
easily using a short, wireless connection.
~ A Bluetooth device may hum or malfunction:
- When a part of your body is in contact with the
receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth
device or the Home Theater.
- When the device is subject to electrical variation
from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or
office partitioning.
- When the device is exposed to electrical
interference from same frequency-band devices
including medical equipment, microwave ovens,
and wireless LANs.
~ Pair the Home Theater with the Bluetooth device
while the two are close together.
~ The further the distance is between the Home
Theater and the Bluetooth device, the worse the
quality is.
If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational
range, the connection is lost.
~ In poor reception-sensitivity areas, the Bluetooth
connection may not work properly.
~ The Home Theater has an effective reception range
of up to 10 meters in all directions if there are no
obstacles. The connection will be automatically
cut off if the device is out of this range. Even within
this range, the sound quality may be degraded by

Apps
Your home theater offers an extensive collection of
news, movies, weather, and other content you can
download directly to and enjoy on your home theater.
First, check the network and make sure the home
theater is connected to the Internet. Your home
theater must be connected to the Internet to use the
Apps feature.
The apps offered through the Apps feature work
much like their on-line versions or, if different, are easy
to use.
Some apps require you to create an account before
you can use them. Although you can create an
account for most of these apps through your home
theater, it is easier and quicker to create an account
by visiting the app sites on line using a PC, laptop,
or tablet with Internet access. Note that in some
cases, you will need to use the home theater and a
PC, laptop, or tablet to establish an account. The
main difference between the regular on-line versions
and the versions you can access through your home
theater is that with the home theater versions, you
use your remote to enter letters and numbers as
opposed to a keyboard.
