- Setting the AM/FM interval -
Setting the AM/FM interval
The International Telecommunication Union(ITU) has established that member coun-
tries should maintain either a 10 kHz or 9 kHz interval between broadcasting frequen-
cies of AM stations and 100 kHz or 50 kHz for FM stations. The illustration shows the
50/9 kHz zones (regions 1 and 3), and the 100/10 kHz zone (region 2).
This product is not equipped with a span selector. However, it will be adjusted to a 10
kHz AM (100 kHz FM) interval when shipped from the factory.
Before using the unit, be sure to set it to the AM/FM tuning interval (span) used in
your area.
To change the AM/FM tuning interval:
Note:
The AM/FM tuning interval will not change unless you press the ENTER button within
6 seconds.
Caution:
!When the unit is left for a few hours after the span has been switched and the AC
power lead disconnected, the AM span will be automatically returned to 10 kHz
(FM span to 100 kHz). If this happens, set the span again.
!When the span is switched, all the memorised stations will be cancelled.
1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by mode.
2 Whilst holding down the TUNER (BAND) button, press the ON/STAND-BY button.
3 Within 6 seconds, press the TUNING ( or ) button to select the interval (span)
in your area.
The display switches each time you press the button.
4 Within 6 seconds, press the ENTER button on the remote control.
!The unit will enter the power stand-by mode automatically.

"Placing the speaker system
The best surround effect will be achieved by placing each speaker at the same
distance from the listening position.
It is recommended to arrange the speakers as shown below.
Notes:
!Place the TV halfway between the front speakers.
!It is recommended that the centre speaker be placed near the television.
!Place the surround speakers at a position just above the height of your ears.
!The subwoofer vibrates whilst reproducing bass. Place it on a stable, sturdy sur-
face.
!The subwoofer reproduces bass. Place it anywhere you like.
"Magnetically shielded speakers
The front, centre and subwoofer speakers may be placed beside or near the TV as
they are magnetically shielded. However, discolouration may occur depending on the
TV type.
If colour variation occurs...
Turn off the TV (from the power switch).
After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.
If the colour variation is still present...
Move the speakers further away from the TV.
Refer to the user's manual of the TV for details.
Note:
The surround speakers are not magnetically shielded.
Note:
The default distance is set to 2 m. If speakers cannot be placed at equal distances,
refer to "Speaker delay setting" (see page 25).
Installation image:
The speaker stands are optionally available (see page 31). Refer to their instructions
for assembly.
