STEP 1 Positioning

Caution

The main unit and supplied speakers are to be used only as indicated in this setup. Failure to do so may lead to damage

to the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage has occurred or if you experience a sudden change in performance.

Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using methods other than those described in this manual.

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points:

Place speakers on flat secure bases.

Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.

[Note]

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) away from the system for proper ventilation.

Setup example

Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by the speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the TV.

§Do not use the wireless system or the digital transmitter in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.

NOTE

Do not use a front speaker as a surround speaker or vice versa. Verify the type of speaker with the label on the rear of the speaker.

To avoid interference, maintain the following distances between the wireless system and other electronic devices that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).

The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, the

wireless link indicator (“ [W2S] ” or “ [W4S] ”) flashes on the main unit, and there is a brief interruption in audio coming from the surround speakers.

This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best possible performance of your home theater system. If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location

outside the range of the wireless system or move the wireless system nearer to the main unit.

Wireless LAN: approx. 2 m (6 1/2 ft.)
