Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be negatively affected.

≥Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.

Main unit

[Note]

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

≥To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the main unit, position it with at least 5 cm (2q) of space on all sides.

≥Do not block the ventilation holes of the main unit.

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.

Center speaker

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

≥To prevent the speakers from falling, do not place directly on top of the television.

Wireless system

≥Place the wireless system within approximately 10 m (33 ft) from the main unit.

≥Do not use the wireless system or the digital transceiver in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.

Subwoofer

Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration. Leave about 30 cm (1113/16q) from the television.

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.
