Location

of

the

front

speakers

To

obtain

high

sound

quality

and

a

proper

sound

image

from

the

front

speakers,

place

the

speaker

with

the

built-in

operation

panel

to

the

left

of

the

TV

and

the

other

to

the

right

so

that

the

center

channel

tweeters

angle

inwards

toward

the

center

of

the

room.

Also,

to

obtain

the

best

central

sound

image,

we

recommend

placing

the

left

and

right

speakers

within

2.5

meters

of

each

other

and

equidistant

from

the

TV.

Notes

on

speaker

connection

•

Use

only

the

supplied

speakers

for

the

rear

speaker

connection.

•

Make

sure

to

observe

the

terminal

polarity

when

making

rear

speaker

connections.

That

is,

connect

+

to

+

and

-

to

-.

Connecting

terminals

of

opposite

polarity

will

result

in

sound

distortion

and

weakened

bass.

•

Since

the

built-in

rear

speaker

amplifier

uses

the

BTL

system,

the

—

speaker

cord

must

be

firmly

connected.

•

Keep

the

TV

volume

turned

down

completely

during

use

of

the

SA-VAI.
