Setup
1. Speaker Placement
Proper speaker placement is crucial for optimal surround sound experience. Position speakers as follows:
- Front Speakers: Place to the left and right of your television, equidistant from the viewing position.

2. Connecting Speakers
Connect the speaker cables from each speaker to the corresponding terminals on the main unit. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative) for each connection. The wireless rear speakers connect to a separate wireless receiver module, which then communicates with the main unit.
3. Connecting to TV and Other Devices
Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT port on the home theater system to an HDMI IN port on your television. For other devices like gaming consoles or set-top boxes, connect them to the HDMI IN ports on the home theater system.
4. Power Connection
Plug the power cord into the main unit and then into a wall outlet. Ensure all connections are secure before powering on the system.
