Installing RC batteries
• Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
• Insert the included AAA batteries.
• Close the battery compartment.
Notes:
• Use the RC at an angle no more than 30° at a distance of no more than 7 meters.
• Direct the remote control at the LED display on the subwoofer.
• If the remote control is inoperative, check the availability of batteries or change them.
• Remove the batteries from the RC if you don’t intend to use it for a long time (more than
a week).
5. PREPARATION AND OPERATION
Speaker placement
• To achieve optimum sound, it’s recommended that you place the speakers according to Fig. 5.
The center and front speakers should be located along an imaginary circle with the distance
between the listener and the center channel speaker as a radius, and the listener’s head as the
center. Each of the three speakers should be placed at equal distance from the listener. The front
speakers and the listener make up an equilateral triangle. The rear speakers are placed at the same
distance from the listener (on the imaginary circle, too) at an angle of nearly 110° to the Listener –
Display axis.
• Avoid placing your speakers in the corners and close to walls, as this can lead to unwanted
resonance and distortions. If possible, place them at least 20 cm away from walls.
• For more accurate perception, the tweeters should be at the listener’s ear level.
• Do not locate the speakers in niches. Such placement can aԚect the sound badly, especially in
the lows.
• The subwoofer emits non-directional sound, therefore it can be located in any place of the room
where it sounds the best.

* The frequencies are switched if there are stations preset in the memory.
** The storage device must be formatted as FAT, FAT32. Memory cards SDHC class 10 or less can be
used. Connecting devices other than USB Ԝash drive is not recommended. Connection of HDDs and other
devices can cause damage to the HTSS. Command processing time can be increased when using 8 Gb
USB drive.
