Do not connect the power cord until all other connections have been made.
NOTE
• Although the satellite speakers and the subwoofer are magnetically
shielded, the TV screen may appear mottled. In this case, keep
enough distance between the speakers and the TV.
• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on
TVs. However, if not installed properly, it may cause color
distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing the
speakers.
- When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s
main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers.
Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main
power switch again.
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed
the above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.
• Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.
• Be sure to place the subwoofer to the TV’s right. If you place the
subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient distance between them to
prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.
• Distortion of picture may occur when connecting the TV via a
VCR, or to a TV with a built-in VCR.
• You need to set “MONITOR TYPE” in the PICTURE menu
correctly according to the aspect ratio of your TV. (See page 32.)
7 To connect a TV equipped with the component video
input jacks
NOTE
• You need to set the scanning mode to “Y/C COMP.” or
“PROGRESSIVE” depending on the method to connect to your TV.
(See page 15.)
• If your TV supports progressive video input, you can enjoy a high
quality picture by setting the progressive scan mode to active. (See
page 15.)
• If the component video input jacks of your TV are of the BNC type,
use a plug adapter (not supplied) to convert the pin plugs to BNC
plugs.
• The component video signals can be output only when you select
“DVD” as the source to play. (See page 14.)
7 To connect a TV with the SCART connector
* Some TV’s SCART connectors output audio signal. In such a
case, you can enjoy the TV sound through this system.
NOTE
• No sound signal comes out from “AV” (SCART) connector.
• Select the appropriate scan mode according to your TV. (See page
15.)
