signed for TVs or Monitors that weigh no more
than 40lb (18kg) and have bases no wider than 20”
(508mm) and no deeper than 10 1/4” (260mm). Most

signed for use with this type ofTV
Placement Guidelines
The base of yourTV should be centered on top of the
system and must not hang over the sides. Allowing
the base of yourTV to hang over any edge of this
speaker system increases the risk of tipping, which
may result in injury.
CAUTION:
If yourTV comes with an anti-tip device, install it according to the manufacturer’s
instructions and adjust the tether as instructed after placing theTV on top of the system.
Installing an anti-tip device is recommended when using aTV with this product. If your
TV did not come with an anti-tip device, you can get one from most retail suppliers.

SETUP SOUND STAND SYSTEM
If the TV base is too large
to t on top of the system, place the sound system
in another location such as an open shelf under the
TV, but keep it close to yourTV so the audio cable
will reach.You also could mount yourTV on the wall
above the system.
If placing the sound system backed up to a wall
make sure there is at least one-inch of space between
the wall and the rear of the system.
If placing the sound system in a cabinet
or on a shelf, position the front of the system as
close as possible to the front edge of the shelf for
optimum audio performance.
CAUTION:
With any placement of this product, make sure the ventilation openings on the rear
panel are not blocked.

SETUP SOUND STAND SYSTEM

MostTVs today have three types of audio outputs
(shown on the following page). For the best audio
performance, always use the highest quality output
available; optical being the rst choice, coaxial sec-
ond and analog third.
NOTE:
If you are using an optical cable, be sure to remove the protective
plug cover. When inserting the plug into the connector, you may
sense a slight resistance and additional pressure may be needed
