Safety precautions
Placement
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct
sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive
vibration. These conditions can damage the cabinet and
other components, thereby shortening the unit’s service life.
Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid
distortion and unwanted acoustical effects.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload
the unit and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully
when setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC
is used.
Power cord protection
Ensure the AC power cord is connected correctly and not
damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire
or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on
the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the
AC power cord can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause
electric shock.
Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause
electric shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric
shock or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect
the unit from the power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain
flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is
interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any
other problem that is not covered in these instructions
occurs, disconnect the AC power cord and contact your
dealer or an authorized service center. Electric shock
or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired,
disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the
power source if it is not to be used for a long time.

To enjoy progressive video
1. Connect to the component video input terminals on a 480p or 576p compatible television.

Placement of speakers
Subwoofer
Front speaker
(right)
Front speaker
(left)
Main
unit
Place the
subwoofer on the
fl oor or a sturdy
shelf so that it will
not cause vibration.
Front speakers
Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right
channel orientation is necessary.
You cannot take the front net off the speakers.
Use only the supplied speakers
• The combination of the main unit and speakers provide
the best sound. 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.
Positioning for best effect
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the
sound fi eld. Note the following points.
• Place speakers on fl at secure bases.
• Placing speakers too close to fl oors, walls, and corners
can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows
with a thick curtain.
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 set-up 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 further away from
the television.
Note:
• Keep your speakers at least 10mm away from the system
for proper ventilation.
• 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 emit strange noise (howling)
from a microphone or 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.
Caution
•
Use the speakers only with the recommended
system. Failure to do so can damage the amplifi er
and speakers, and can cause fi re. Consult a
qualifi ed service person if damage occurs or if a
sudden change in performance is apparent.
• Do not attach these speakers to walls or ceilings.
Preparing the remote control
R6/LR6, AA
Insert so the
poles (+ and –)
match those in the
remote control.
• Do not use
rechargeable
type batteries.
Do not:
• mix old and new batteries.
• use different types of the batteries at the same time.
• heat or expose batteries to fl ame.
• take apart or short circuit the batteries.
• attempt to recharge alkaline or manganese batteries.
• use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.
Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage
which can severely damage the remote control.
Remove the batteries if the remote control is not going to be
used for a long period of time. Store in a cool, dark place.
■ Use
Aim at the remote control signal sensor (\ page 8),
avoiding obstacles, at a maximum range of 7 m directly in
front of the unit.
