INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this 5.1 Channel Home Theater Surround Sound System. This deluxe audio theater system turns your
home into a virtual theater. In addition to the incredible surround sound of a 5.1 channel audio source, such as your current DVD
player, this system also superbly enhances your other audio sources, such as a CD player, computer, VCR, or a cassette deck.
The only thing you need to add is your own TV or other devices. We have designed this system to be easy to set up, but please,
review this manual before you operate your system. Please have it handy while you are setting the system up; and keep it
available for future reference, or in the unlikely event that you encounter any unexpected questions or problems. We have tried
to keep this manual as simple as possible. It begins with how to connect the speakers, your TV, and other optional devices. It also
includes instructions on how to position the speakers for the most natural surround sound. If you follow the instructions carefully
you can have the system set up in about an hour.
This system was designed to provide you with many years of reliable operation with a minimum of care and maintenance. Every
component in your system was perfect when it left our factory. If you experience any problem with the set-up or operation of this
system, please review the Trouble Shooting Guide at the end of this manual before you contact the Customer Service Department
at 1-800-315-5885.
All of the adjustable system settings have been preset at our factory for normal operation of the system. All you have to do is to
sit back and enjoy the great home theater experience.
Later on, you may want to change some of the optional settings like speaker volume and balance settings. Instructions for
changing them, are found later in this manual.

SPEAKER POSITIONING INFORMATION
Your system is supplied with 5 compact sized satellite speakers and
one large subwoofer (main set). The satellite speakers and the center
speaker reproduce only the mid range and higher frequencies. All of
the low frequency (bass) sounds are produced by the subwoofer. Proper
positioning and placement of the speakers is important in order to provide
the best surround sound experience. We understand that due to the
size and shape of your listening room, and the location of your furniture,
you may not be able to set up the speakers exactly as per these
diagrams. However these simple guidelines will help you maximize
your home theater experience.
· Note the speaker levels are preset at the factory and most people will

not need to fine tune the sound of each speaker. We suggest you skip
this part at first. Later on you can adjust the sound level of each
individual speaker. See Page 22.
· Although all 5 satellites are of the same size, the speakers inside the
cabinets are different. The speaker wires on the back of the cabinets
are color-coded, as are the speaker terminals on the back of the main
unit. Refer to the connection diagram on page 8. Be sure you are
using the correct satellite speaker in each location, front, rear and
center. Please follow the colors for best results.

usual listening position.
POSITION THE SPEAKERS LIKE THIS FOR OPTIMAL LISTENING EXPERIENCE
· The 4 satellite speakers and the center speaker should be placed approximately the same distance from your listening
position.
· The center speaker should be placed directly above (or below) the TV set. Left and right front speakers should be
approximately at the same height as the center speaker.
· The rear speakers should be either in line with, or behind your listening position, approximately at ear level, or slightly
above.
· The subwoofer (main set) should be on the floor near the TV, or in any corner, but remember you need a clear path to
your remote (don't block this set with a curtain).
· All speakers must be visible. Do not hide them behind curtains, furniture, etc, as this will affect the sound.

SPEAKER POSITIONING INFORMATION
· The left front, right front, and center speakers should be
placed at roughly the same height. The center speaker SATELLITE SPEAKERS
reproduces most of the dialog spoken by the actors on the
TV screen, therefore it should be placed either directly above
or below the center of the TV set. Once you position the
center speaker, try to position the left front and right front
speakers at the same height. It is not recommended to place
any of the satellite speakers on the floor. Many people prefer
to place the center speaker horizontally above the TV set.
· The left rear and right rear speakers can be placed in line
with your listening position or behind your listening position.
Ideally they should be placed slightly above your ear level
when you are seated in your normal listening position.
· We have provided one keyhole opening on the backs of all
the satellite speakers that allow the satellite speakers to be
wall mounted in a vertical position.
· The subwoofer will provide the most dramatic bass effects
(low frequency sounds like explosions and thunder) when it
is placed on the floor. Do not place the subwoofer on a
stand or table. The subwoofer should be placed in the front
of the room so that it is facing towards your listening position.
It can be placed on either side of the TV or even in the SUBWOOFER
corner of the room, as far away as the cable will allow. The
bass sounds from the subwoofer are non-directional. You
will not really be able to tell where the bass is coming from.
· LONG ROOMS - In case your room is unusually long and
longer wire are needed, you may buy any good quality
speaker wire and splice the wires yourself for adding wire
length to your speakers. Be careful not to allow the plus +
and minus - wires to touch each other. Many speaker wires
have a dotted line or solid line or raised rib on one side to
identify each side.
Remember to cover the splices with electrical tape.
