Notes on speaker use

≥You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play sound at high levels over extended periods.

≥Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage:

–When playing distorted sound.

–When the speakers are reverberating due to a record player, noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.

–When adjusting the sound quality.

–When turning the unit on or off.

∫Additional note for wireless setup

To avoid possible interference, do not place the surround speaker near any of the following devices.

The surround speaker uses the same radio frequencies as other devices that may be present in your home.

2.4GHz-band microwave oven

personal computer with 2.4GHz-band wireless

LAN

2.4GHz-band cordless phone

The surround speaker will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, the wireless link indicator (“ [W] ”) flashes on the main unit, and there is a brief interruption in audio coming from the surround speaker.

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 surround speaker.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

The front and center speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup combinations.

If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.

The demagnetizing function of the television should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.

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.
