Terminal connections

Notes

•Make sure the plus (+) and the minus (–) terminals on the speakers are matched to the corresponding plus (+)

and minus (–) terminals on the amplifier.

•Be sure to tighten the screws of the speaker terminals securely as loose screws may become a source of noise.

•Make sure all connections are firm. Contact between bare speaker wires at the speaker terminals may cause a

short-circuit.

•Do not connect the subwoofer to the amplifier’s CENTER output terminal (which is for Dolby Pro Logic or

Dolby Digital (AC-3)). No bass will output from the subwoofer if you do.

•For details regarding the connections on the amplifier side, refer to the manual that was provided with your

amplifier.

Tip

All striped wires are minus (–) in polarity, and should be connected to the minus (–) speaker terminals.

Positioning the

speakers

Location of each

speaker

*SA-VE815ED only

Each speaker should face the listening

position. Better surround effect will result if

all speakers are set at the same distance from

the listening position.

Place the front speakers at a suitable distance

to the left and right of the television.

Place the subwoofer on either side of the

television.

Place the center speaker on the top-center of

the TV set.

The placement of rear speakers greatly

depends on the configuration of the room.

The rear speakers may be placed on both

sides of the listening position Aor behind

the listening position B.

Tips

•Movies are best enjoyed in a room that produces

no echoes (as in one with surrounding curtains).

•Music (especially classical music) is best enjoyed

in a room that produces some echo.

•Adjust the height of the front speakers so that it

corresponds with the center of the TV screen, as

illustrated below.

Positioning the front

(and rear) speakers

Attach the front (and rear) speakers to

supplied speaker stands and place them at

their optimum locations.

For details on the location of the front (and

rear) speakers, see “Location of each speaker”

on this page.

stand), WS-TV10 (TV stand), or WS-WV10

(wall mount bracket) speaker stand (available

only in certain countries).

Listening to the sound

Operation panel on the subwoofer

First, turn down the volume on the amplifier.

The volume should be set to minimum before

you begin playing the program source.

program source.

2Press POWER on the subwoofer.

The ON/STANDBY indicator on the

subwoofer lights up green.

3Play the program source.

Power turns on and off

automatically — Auto power on/off function

When the subwoofer is on (i.e, the

ON/STANDBY indicator lights up green)

and there is no signal input for a few minutes,

the ON/STANDBY indicator changes to red

and the subwoofer enters power saving

mode. While in this mode a signal is input to

the subwoofer, the subwoofer automatically

turns on (auto power on/off function).

To turn this feature off, slide the POWER

SAVE switch on the rear panel to OFF.

Note

If you turn down the volume level of the subwoofer

too low, the auto power on/off function may

activate, causing the subwoofer to enter power

saving mode.

preference according to the program

source.

Notes

•Some amplifier functions for enhancing the sound

may cause distortion in the subwoofer. If such

distortion occurs, turn off those functions.

•To enjoy high-quality sound, do not turn the

subwoofer volume too high.

•To increase the bass sound from the subwoofer,

connect the system using “Hookup B”(see

page 5).

•The bass sound is enhanced in MOVIE mode

rather than in MUSIC mode. Therefore, if you

change the mode to MOVIE while listening to

some sources that do not include the bass sound,

you may not be able to get the effect.
