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.
If irregular coloring occurs on your television
The front and 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 television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it
persists, move the speakers further away from the television.
Positioning for best effect
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound fi eld.
Note the following points:
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately
the same distance from the seating position.
The angles in the diagram below are approximate.
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 thick curtains.
Place the speakers.
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 speaker from falling, do not place the speaker directly
on top of the television.
Do not touch the netted area of the
speakers.
Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from falling.
Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling over if
you cannot set them up on an even surface.
Left and right speakers are interchangeable, but front and surround
speakers are not.
Note
Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.
Caution
Caution
The main unit and supplied speakers are only to be used as
indicated in this setup. Failure to do so may lead to damage to
the amplifi er and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of
fi re. Consult a qualifi ed 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.
Main unit
Note
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the main unit for proper ventilation.
To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airfl ow around the
