Note
•
To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM loop antenna away
from the home theater system and other devices.
•
Be sure to fully extend the FM wire antenna.
•
After connecting the FM wire antenna, keep it as close to
horizontal as possible.
Note
•
Make sure that you match the speaker cable to the
appropriate terminal on the connectors: + to + and – to –. If
the cables are reversed, the sound is distorted and lacks
bass.
•
When making the sound louder, adjust the sound level
carefully to avoid excessive volume output to the speakers.
•
Only 2-channel stereo (Front Left, Front Right, and
Subwoofer) is available in VCR mode. Sound might not be
heard from center or rear speakers during VCR playback.
(For further details about sound mode, see “Sound mode”
