The supplied speakers may be placed beside or near the TV as they are magnetically
shielded. However, colour variation may occur, depending on the type of the TV.
It is recommended to arrange the speakers as shown below.
If colour variation occurs...
Turn off the TV (from the power switch).
After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.
