Introduction
This unit creates surround sound by reflecting projected sound beams off the walls of your listening room. It eliminates the need for multiple speakers and complicated wiring, offering a powerful surround sound experience from a slimline unit.
Installation
Choose a suitable installation location with adequate ventilation and ensure sound beams are not obstructed by furniture. Parallel or corner installation options are available.
Connections
Connect external components like TVs, DVD players, and VCRs using the provided audio/video jacks. Ensure all connections are made before powering on the unit.
Setup
Prepare the remote control and turn on the unit. Run AUTO SETUP using the optimizer microphone for automatic acoustic optimization. Manual setup options are also available for fine-tuning.
Operation
Select input sources, adjust volume, and enjoy surround sound by choosing various beam modes and CINEMA DSP programs. Basic and advanced operations are detailed in the manual.
