Getting Started

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.

If irregular colouring occurs on your TV

The center speaker is designed to be used close to a

TV, but the picture may be affected with some TVs and

setup combinations.

If this occurs, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.

The demagnetising function of the TV should correct the

problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away

from the TV.

Caution

Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold

by the sides.

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

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

Pay attention to the type of speaker and the connector

colour when you place the speakers.

This unit (rear)

Connect to the terminals of the same colour.

Use of the speaker cable stickers is convenient when

making cable connections.

Speakers (rear)

Insert the wire fully, taking care not to insert beyond the

wire insulation.

i: White

j: Blue line

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

polarity of the speaker wires as doing so may damage

the speakers.

(Continued on next page)

step 1 Installation

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 21.

[Note]

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the

system for proper ventilation.

Setup example (Recommended: 5.1ch layout)

Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The

angles in the diagram are approximate.

§1

Position with at least 5 cm of space on all sides for proper ventilation.

§2

Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by the speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the TV.

§3

Place to the right or left of the TV, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration. Leave about

30 cm from the TV.

Depending on the room layout, you may like to use only the front speakers and subwoofer for space saving

(2.1ch layout).
