Safety precautions

Dear customer

Thank you for purchasing this product. For optimum

performance and safety, please read these instructions

carefully.

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.

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

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

places where DC is used.

Ensure the AC mains lead 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 mains lead can cause electric shock.

Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause

electric shock.

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.

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 mains lead 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.

Operations in these instructions are described

mainly with the remote control, but you can

perform the operations on this unit if the controls

are the same.

which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black or Blue.

The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the

terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured Brown or Red.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE

EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE

RQTX0137

This unit comes equipped with a Dolby Virtual Speaker circuit installed. Using just the supplied speakers and 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.

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.

≥ For optional wall mount, refer to page 6.

]Note]

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.

Notes on speaker use

≥ Use only supplied speakers

Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound

quality will be negatively affected.

≥ 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.

≥ Connect the supplied speakers and subwoofer to this

unit only. Do not attempt to connect the supplied

speakers and subwoofer to the external amplifier and

so on.

Caution

Do not touch the

front netted area of

the speakers. Hold

by the sides.

If irregular colouring occurs on your television

The front 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 demagnetising function of the television should

correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers

further away from the television.

Caution

≥ This unit and the 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.

∫ Preventing the front speakers from falling

≥ You will need to obtain the appropriate screw

eyes to match the walls or pillars to which they

are going to be fastened.

≥ Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning

the appropriate procedure when attaching to a

concrete wall or a surface that may not have

strong enough support. Improper attachment may

result in damage to the wall or speakers.

∫ Attaching to a wall

You can attach the front speakers to a wall.

≥ The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be

attached should be capable of supporting 10 kg

per screw. Consult a qualified building contractor

when attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper

attachment may result in damage to the wall and

speakers.

1 Detach stand.

2 Drive a screw (not included) into the wall.

≥ Ensure that the screw is positioned at least

70 mm away from the ceiling.

3 Fit the speaker securely onto the screw(s)

with the hole(s).

e.g.

∫ Fitting speaker stands (not included)

(Front speakers only)

Ensure the stands meet these conditions before

purchasing them.

Note the diameter and length of the screws and the

distance between screws as shown in the diagram.

≥The stands must be able to support over 10 kg.

≥The stands must be stable even if the speakers

are in a high position.

Turn off all equipment before connection and read the appropriate operating instructions.

Do not connect the AC mains lead until all other connections are complete.

This connection will also enable you to play audio from your television through your home theater system

(➜ page 32, Enjoying audio from the television). Select the appropriate audio out (e.g., Monitor) on the television.

When connecting the speakers and subwoofer

(1, 2, 3)

Insert the wires correctly.

≥ Be careful not to cross (short-circuit) or reverse

the polarity of the speaker wires as doing so may

damage the speakers.

Conserving power

This unit consumes a small amount of power, even

when it is in standby mode (approx. 0.3 W). To save

power when the unit is not to be used for a long time,

unplug it from the household AC mains socket.

You will need to reset some memory items after plugging

in this unit.

[Note]

The included AC mains lead is for use with this unit only.

Do not use it with other equipment. Also, do not use

speakers is the same as the disc’s channel specification, audio will not be output properly (e.g., part of the audio is

missing, 5.1 channel sound cannot be selected and audio is played in two channels). Refer to the disc’s jacket for

more information.
