Speaker layout
Powered subwoofer
???Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.
???The front and center speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, they may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing the speakers.
???When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV???s main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV???s main power switch again.
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.
???The surround speakers are not magnetically shielded.
If it is located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably cause color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the speaker nearby the TV or monitor.
???Be sure to place the powered subwoofer to the TV???s right. If you place the powered subwoofer to the TV???s left, keep sufficient distance between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.

7How the Enhanced Other Network function actually works
Case 1
If there is no station broadcasting the program you have selected
The system continues tuning in to the current station.
???
When a station starts broadcasting the program you have selected, the system automatically switches to the station. The indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.
???
When the program is over, the system goes back to the previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Network function still remains activated.
Case 2
If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the program you have selected
The system continues to receive the station but the indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.
???
When the program is over, the indicator of received PTY code stops flashing and remains lit, but the Enhanced Other Network function still remains activated.
NOTE
???In Enhanced Other Network standby mode, if you change the source to play, Enhanced Other Network standby mode is canceled temporarily.
If you change the source to FM again, the system returns to Enhanced Other Network standby mode.
???Enhanced Other Network data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this system.
???Enhanced Other Network does not function for some FM stations with RDS service.
???While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same Enhanced Other Network data.
???While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network function, you can only use TA/NEWS/INFO and FL DISP. as the tuner operation buttons.
