control decreases, replace the battery.

To Replace the Battery in the Remote Control

Insert the battery into the remote control by matching the polarities (+ and –)

correctly.

1 Pinch the side of the battery case.

2 Pull out the battery case and insert

the battery by matching the polarities.

NOTE

Store the battery in a place where children cannot reach. If a child accidentally

swallows the battery, consult a doctor immediately.

To prevent the battery from overheating, cracking, or starting a fire:

Do not recharge, short, disassemble or heat the battery, or dispose of it in a

fire.

Do not leave the battery with other metallic materials.

Wrap the battery with tape and insulate when throwing away or saving it.

Do not poke the battery with tweezers or similar tools.

Dispose of the battery in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and

local regulations.

Speaker layout

Install the speakers on a flat and level surface to ensure the best sound quality.

The sound may be affected depending on the location in which you install

them. To avoid such issues, change the location and orientation of the

speakers.

Install the speakers leaving an appropriate distance between them.

If you install the speakers near the TV, color distortion may occur. To prevent

this, turn off the TV’s main power or unplug it before installing the speakers.

Wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power again.

If the TV is still affected, move the speakers further away.
