Positioning

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.

Main unit

Place the digital receiver within approximately 10 m from the main unit. Do not use this wireless system near a microwave oven.

Do not place the main unit or receiver in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.

Other speaker setup options (page 29)

Use only supplied speakers

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 away from the system for proper ventilation.

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.

Active subwoofer

Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it won’t cause vibration. Leave 10 cm at the rear for ventilation.

Caution

Do not stand on the base and shake the speaker.

Be cautious when children are near.

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, continuous signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.

When adjusting the sound quality.

When turning the unit on or off.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

The supplied 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 television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers farther away from the television.

Caution

The active subwoofer, supplied speakers and digital receiver are to be used only as indicated in this setup. Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier, the speakers and/or digital receiver, 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.
