STEP1 Speaker location
This unit comes equipped with a Dolby Virtual Speaker circuit installed. Using just the front/center speakers, the subwoofer, and by reproducing acoustic effects very similar to 5.1ch surround, you can enjoy a true “home theater” experience even within a limited space.
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.
≥Leave 50 mm (2q) (or further) from the wall.
Front/center speaker
≥Outputs the elements of the front and center speakers. An effect similar to hearing the audio track from the center of the TV screen can be obtained.
≥Leave 70 mm (225/32q) (or more) of
60º
space in between the TV and the speakers and adjust audio to your liking.
≥Look on the bottom of the speakers to identify the left and right speakers.

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
50 mm (2q) of space on all sides.
≥Do not block the ventilation holes of the main unit.
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 curtains.
Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be adversely 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.
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.
≥Do not touch the netted area of the speakers.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television
The front/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.
