Getting Started
STEPS Connecting your TV
If the audio and video output jacks on your TV and
VCR are already connected, and your TV has stereo
AUDIO OUT jacks, you can start enjoying surround
sound simply by connecting the speaker system to
your TV as shown below.
Important
• Set the volume on your TV to MIN (minimum).
• If your TV has an ON / OFF switch for its internal speaker,
set it to OFF and enjoy the sound from this speaker system.

If you use AUDIO OUT jacks marked VARIABLE
After making the connection as shown above, turn up the
volume on the TV. Use this speaker system's volume control
for regular volume adjustment. Turning down the volume on
the TV reduces the AUDIO OUT signal level and may cause a
loss in sound quahty and/or the auto-power off function (see
page 10) to activate.
If you have an additional VCR or LO player
Coimect it to the 2 IN jacks and connect the 2 OUT jacks to
the AUDIO IN jack on the back of your TV.
STEP 4 Connecting the AC power cord
Connect the AC power cbrd to a wall outlet.
Audio Component Hookups
Since this speaker system incorporates its own internal
amplifier and preamplifier, you can also connect an
audio component, such as a CD player.

Do not connect an amplified audio source. The combined
amplification from the component and the speaker's internal
amplifier may damage the speakers.
For the best possible sound (or if your TV only has a
monaural AUDIO OUT jack, or no AUDIO OUT jacks)
Coimect the speaker system directly to your VCR or cable box.
The following connections suppress noise from the TV and let
you enjoy high quality sound.
1 Connect your VCR or cable box to the 1 IN jacks on the left
front speaker.
2 Connect your TV to the 1 OUT jacks on the left front speaker.
Make sure you use the 1 or 2 IN jacks that correspond to the
VIDEO IN jack you are using on your TV set (i.e., VIDEO 1).
