INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Do not install these units near a stove or other heating appliance, or put them in a place exposed to the sun. Such locations may cause the cabinet to change color and the speaker system to break down.

Do not use the speaker to output distorted sound for long periods of time. This can result in a fire hazard.

Do not connect this speaker to any amplifier other than the one supplied with this system. Connection to any other amplifier may result in a malfunction or a fire.

FRONT / CENTER / SURROUND SPEAKERS

This speaker system is magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, color distortion may occur if the speaker system is installed extremely close to the screen of a television set.

If this happens, turn off the television, then turn it on again after 15 min to 30 min. If the problem persists, place the speaker system away from the television set.

S-FCR3700:

Do not attach the front speakers to the wall or ceiling. It may fall off and cause injury.

S-FCR3300-K:

Do not attach the center speakers to the wall or ceiling. It may fall off and cause injury.

SUBWOOFER

Do not attach the subwoofer to the wall or ceiling. It may fall off and cause injury.

Do not place anything on top of the cabinet.

Do not spill liquid on the cabinet.

Place the subwoofer at least 8 inches (20 cm) from any wall or curtain in order to avoid heat build-up.

The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and so should not be placed near a TV or monitor. Magnetic storage media (such as floppy discs and tape or video cassettes) should also not be kept close to the subwoofer.

CONNECTING YOUR SYSTEM

Important

Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any connections.

Correct wiring of your loudspeakers is essential for achieving the best sound quality. Be careful to ensure proper polarity of connection.

CAUTION

These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts.

Twist and pull off the protective shields on each wire.

PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING

FRONT SPEAKERS

For best results the loudspeakers should be separated a distance approximately equal to the listening distance. Angling the loudspeakers inward towards the listener will improve the image stability for non-central listeners. Close proximity to a side or rear wall will enhance the midbass performance, although too close (particularly a corner location) and the bass may be unnaturally high and image performance may be degraded.

CENTER SPEAKER

The loudspeaker should be positioned below the TV. For best results align the front of the loudspeaker with the front of the TV. If the loudspeaker is placed under the TV and very close to the floor, then tilting upwards may be beneficial.

When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.
