Push!

For wall mount, refer to page 32.

Be careful not to cross (short-circuit) or reverse the polarity of the speaker wires as doing so may damage the speakers.

Don’t 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 before connecting the appropriate cable.

To avoid injury by falling or dropping the speaker, place the speaker cables with care not to stumble or hook.

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.

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.

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

D Surround speakers

Place the speakers at the same height or higher than ear level.

Use only supplied speakers

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

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

Positioning speakers in front

It is possible to locate all the speakers in front of the listening position. However the optimal surround sound effect may not be obtainable.

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.

For optional wall mount, refer to page 32.

If irregular coloring occurs on your TV, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.

If it persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.
