(not supplied) to the red socket AUX IN R and
the white plug to the white socket AUX IN L.
2Connect the other end of the audio cables to
the AUDIO OUT terminals of the additional
appliance.
3Extend the extension line and move it in
different positions for optimal reception (as far
away as possible from the TV,VCR or other
radiation sources).
4Fix the extension line’s end to the ceiling.
