Thank you for making ZENITH a part of your home!
Speaker Positions
The normal setup uses 6 speakers (2 front speakers, center speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer).
•Front Speakers
From your listening poition, place the speakers an equal distance away and with an interval of 45 degrees between
speakers.
•Center Speaker
It is ideal if the center speaker and front speakers at the same height. You would normally place the center speaker
above or below the television as shown below.
•Rear Speakers
Place the rear surround speakers to the left and right behind the primary listening area. These speakers recreate
sound motion and atmosphere required for surround playback. For best results, do not install the rear speakers too far
behind the listening position, install them at or above the level of the listener’s ears. It is also effective to direct the
rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.
For smaller room sizes, if the audience is near to the rear wall, place the rear speakers opposite each other, and
24 - 36 inches above the listeners’ ears.
•Subwoofer
This can be placed in any front position.

5 DVD Combi Home Theater System

Connecting Antenna/Cable TV
to Home Theater System
11
Disconnect the antenna leads from the rear
of the TV.
22
Identify the type of cable from your anten-
na. If it is a round cable as illustrated, it is
a 75 ohm coaxial antenna cable. This
cable will connect directly to the jack
marked ANT.IN on your Home Theater
System.
ip
If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna
cable, connect it to an Antenna Adapter (300-
ohm to 75-ohm) (not supplied) and slip the
Adapter onto the ANT.IN jack. The Adapter
does not screw on to the Home Theater System,
it just slips over the jack.
Speaker System Connections
Connect the speakers using the supplied
speaker cables, match the colors on the cables
with the terminal colors. To obtain the best
possible surround sound, adjust the speaker
parameters (distance, level, etc.).
otes
Be sure to match the speaker cable to the
appropriate terminal on the components: 3
to 3and #to #. If the cables are reversed,
the sound will be distorted and lack bass.
When making the sound louder, adjust the
sound level carefully to avoid excessive vol-
ume output to the speakers.
 Do not disassemble the front covers of supplied
speakers.
Radio Antenna Connections
Connect the supplied AM/FM antennas for
radio listening.
11
Connect the AM loop antenna to the AM
antenna connectors.
22
Connect the FM wire antenna to the FM
antenna connectors.
otes
To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM loop
antenna away from the Home Theater System
and other components.
Be sure to fully extend the FM wire antenna.
After connecting the FM wire antenna, keep
it as horizontal as possible.
TV Connections
Make one of the following connections,
depending on the capabilities of your TV.
RF Coaxial Connection (R)
Connect the RF.OUT jack on the Home
Theater System to the antenna in jack on the
TV using the 75-ohm Coaxial Cable provided
(R).
ote
If you use this connection, tune the TV to the
Home Theater System’s RF output channel
(CH 3 or 4).
How to set the Home Theater System’s RF
output channel
While the Home Theater System is turned off,
press and hold TRK/PRESET (v/V) on the
remote control for about five seconds to
change the RF output channel (CH 03 or CH
04). “RF-03” or “RF-04” appears in the dis-
play window.
S-Video Connection (S)
Connect the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the
Home Theater System to the S-Video in jack
on the TV using the S-Video cable (S).
Component Video (Color Stream®)
connection
Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
jacks on the Home Theater System to the
corresponding in jacks on the TV using Y Pb
Pr cable (C).
Progressive Scan (ColorStream®pro)
Connection
If your television is high-definition or “digi-
tal ready”, you may take advantage of the
Home Theater System’s progressive scan
output for the highest video resolution
possible.
If your TV does not accept the
Progressive Scan format, the picture will
appear scrambled if you try Progressive
Scan on the Home Theater System.
