Connecting Up

2

Do not connect any of the supplied speakers to any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.

This DVD receiver has been designed for best performance when connected to the supplied speakers. We do not, therefore, recommend that you connect and use other speakers with this system.

Placing the speakers

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system.

•The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended.

•For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2– 3m apart.

•The surround speakers should not be further away from your listening position than the front speakers.

•The center speaker should be as close as possible to the TV screen so that movie dialog is localized properly.

Your listening position

If you install the center speaker on top of your TV, be sure to secure it with tape or by some other suitable means. An unsecured speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.

The front and center speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, placing them extremely close to a television may result in color distortion on the screen. If this happens, move the speakers a little further away and switch off the television for 15–30 minutes.

The subwoofer and surround speakers are not magnetically shielded, so they should not be placed near a TV or monitor.

Wall mounting the center and surround speaker system

Before mounting

•Remember that this speaker system is heavy and that its weight may cause the wood screw to work loose or the wall to fail to support it, in which case the speaker system may fall on the floor. This is extremely danger- ous. Make absolutely sure that the wall is sturdy enough to support the weight of the speaker system. Do not mount it on plywood boards or soft-surface walls. The mounting screws are not included with this unit. Please find the correct screws for your application.
