Preparation
The speakers for DD-8 must be assembled to the speaker stands before the speakers can be connected to
the subwoofer. Follow the diagrams below.
Left and right speakers
■CAUTION
• The left and right speakers for DD-8 are consid-
erably heavy. Care must be taken in carrying and
handling them. Injury to personnel or damage to
devices may result if the left/right speaker falls.
Mount the speaker body perpendicular to the
speaker stand. Use the supplied M4 x 25-mm (1 ″ )
screws (3) to fasten each speaker to its speaker
stand.
Center surround speaker
■CAUTION
• The center surround speaker for DD-8 can be
installed on a wall.
• Be sure to have the speaker installed on the wall
by qualified personnel.
• DO NOT install the speaker on the wall by your-
self to avoid unexpected damage from it falling
off the wall due to incorrect installation or weak-
ness in wall structure.
• Care must be taken in selecting a location for
speaker installation on a wall. Injury to personnel
or damage to devices may result if the installed
speaker interferes with daily activities.

■CAUTION
• An incorrect connection may damage the speak-
ers. Properly connect the cables to the speaker
terminals.
• Do not short-circuit the ªand ·speaker termi-
nals. Doing so may damage the main unit.
• The supplied speakers are manufactured exclu-
sively for use with the supplied main unit as
parts of the DD-8/DD-3 system. Do not connect
the supplied speakers to devices other than the
supplied main unit. Doing so may damage the
speakers.
• Do not connect other speakers together with the
supplied speakers. The change in impedance
may damage the main unit and the speakers.
• Improper speaker cable connection spoils the
stereo effect and sound quality.
• Most of the supplied speakers* are magnetically
shielded, but color irregularity may occur on the
TV depending on some conditions. To prevent
color irregularity, set up the speakers following
the instructions below.
1. Turn off the main power of the TV before
setting up the speakers.
2. Place the speakers enough distance from the
TV so that they do not cause color irregularity
on the TV.
3. Wait for approximately 30 minutes before
turning on the main power of the TV again.
* The subwoofer for DD-3 is not magnetically
shielded. With the exception of this
subwoofer, the supplied speakers are
magnetically shielded.

NOTE
• This system supports up to HDMI version 1.0.
The HDMI video signal type can be checked with
the “HDMI” indicator in the display window.
(Refer to “Selecting the video signal type” shown
on the right.)
• If the picture is distorted while an HDMI TV is
connected, turn off the main unit and turn it on
again.
• A TV compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth
Digital Content Protection) can also be con-
nected to the [HDMI] terminal, so that the
uncompressed HD video signal type can be out-
put as well.
■CAUTION
• Do not connect an S-video cable and a compo-
nent video cable at the same time. Otherwise
the picture may not be played back properly.
• Connect the main unit directly to a TV (or a mon-
itor) without routing through a video cassette
recorder (VCR). Otherwise picture distortion
may occur during playback. (Routing the con-
nection through a VCR, however, does not affect
the audio quality.)
• Connecting the main unit to a VCR-built-in-TV
may also cause picture distortion during play-
back.
To view an image on the TV screen, select the
video signal type correctly according to the TV
after connecting the main unit to the TV.
1Turn on the main unit. (Refer to
“Connecting the power cable” on
page 15 and “Turning on the main
unit” on page 16.)
