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.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can
overload the unit and cause a fi re.
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.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly
and not damaged. Poor connection and lead damage
can cause fi re or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or
place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug fi rmly 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.
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 fl ammable 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 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 unqualifi ed persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit
from the power source if it is not to be used for a long
time.

Do not:
• mix old and new batteries.
• use different types of 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

• 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 display (\ page 12), avoiding obstacles,

GETTING STARTED
Simple setup
• Use only supplied speakers
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.
Main unit
• Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the
system for proper ventilation.
• To allow proper ventilation and to maintain good
airfl ow around the main unit, position it with at least
5 cm of space on all sides.
• Do not block the ventilation holes of the main unit.
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 speakers from falling, do not place
directly on top of the television.
Subwoofer
• Place to the right or left of the television, on the fl oor
or a sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration.
Leave a space of 30 cm from the television.
Caution
• Refrain from holding the
speaker’s net.
Example: Front speaker
Placement of speakersPlacement of speakers
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 thick curtains.
SPEAKERS SETUP EXAMPLE
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at
approximately the same distance from the seating
position. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

Other speaker setup options (\ page 10).
Note
• 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 farther
away from the television.
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 attempt to attach these speakers
to walls using methods other than those
described in this manual.
