qualifi ed 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.
To prevent the speaker from falling over, thread the string (not

Placing speakers too close to fl oors, walls, and corners can result
in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.
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

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 supplied 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.

Operating the television
You can attach all of the speakers (except subwoofer) to a wall.
The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached
should be capable of supporting more than 15 kg (33 lbs) for the
front speaker and more than 10 kg (22 lbs) for the surround or
the center speaker. Consult a qualifi ed building contractor when
attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper attachment may result
in damage to the wall and speakers.
When mounting the front speakers to a wall, we recommend
using a string (not included) to prevent it from falling ( page 3).
Drive a screw (not included) into the wall.
Fit the speaker securely onto the screw(s)
with the hole(s).
(Except front speakers)
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 (22 lbs).
The stands must be stable even if the speakers are in a high
position.
Move the
speaker so
that the screw
is in this
position.
