[. . . ] Spread a towel, or other soft cloth, over a table and lay the speakers down. Align the pins on the stands with the holes on the bottom of the speakers. Place the rear speakers so that they fire directly across at each other about 2 to 3 feet above your listening position.

This section describes how to connect the speaker system and how to connect your TV or VCR to the speakers. To connect, depress the middle of the male connector until it clicks into the female connector. Use the supplied speaker cords to connect the rear speakers to the REAR SPEAKER terminals on the back of the left front speaker. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass. If you have an additional VCR or LD player Connect it to the 2 IN jacks and connect the 2 OUT jacks to the AUDIO IN jack on the back of your TV. If the audio and video output jacks on your TV and VCR are already connected, and your TV has stereo AUDIO OUT jacks, you can start enjoying surround sound simply by connecting the speaker system to your TV as shown below. If your TV has an ON/OFF switch for its internal speaker, set it to OFF and enjoy the sound from this speaker system. Connect the AC power cord to a wall outlet. Since this speaker system incorporates its own internal amplifier and preamplifier, you can also connect an audio component, such as a CD player. After making the connection as shown above, turn up the volume on the TV. use this speaker system`s volume control for regular volume adjustment. Turning down the volume on the TV reduces the AUDIO OUT signal level and may cause a loss in sound quality and/or the auto-power off function (see page 10) to activate. The combined amplification from the component and the speaker's internal amplifier may damage the speakers. For the best possible sound (or if your TV only has a monaural AUDIO OUT jack, or no AUDIO OUT jacks) connect the speaker system directly to your VCR or cable box. The following connections suppress noise from the TV and let you enjoy high quality sound. 1 Connect your VCR or cable box to the 1 IN jacks on the left front speaker. 2 Connect your TV to the 1 OUT jacks on the left front speaker.
