Positioning for best effect
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 curtain.
Caution
≥Use the speakers only with the recom- mended system. 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 dam- age 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 de- scribed in this manual.
If irregular coloring occurs on your television
These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup com- binations.
If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.
The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.
