Connections

NOTE

• Although the satellite speakers and the powered 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, they 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 powered subwoofer to the TV’s right. If you place

the powered 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 to 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. (

pg. 37)

To connect a TV equipped with the component video
input jacks

NOTE

• If your TV supports progressive video input, you can enjoy a high

quality picture by setting the progressive scan mode to active.
(

pg. 18)

• 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. (

pg. 17)

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

“Changing the scan mode” (

pg. 18).
