Preparing the remote control
• Do not use
rechargeable
type batteries.
R6/LR6, AA
1 Insert so the
poles (+ and –)
match those in the
remote control.
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 batteries.
• 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.
7 Use
Aim at the remote control signal sensor (\ page 15,
Operations Guide), avoiding obstacles, at a maximum
range of 7 m directly in front of the unit.

Placement of speakers (continued)
• Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit, and
sound quality will be negatively affected.
• Place speakers on fl at secure bases. Take proper
precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if
you cannot set them up on an even surface.
• Placing speakers too close to fl oors, walls, and
corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls
and windows with thick curtains.
Main unit
• Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the
system for proper ventilation.
• To allow for 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.
CAUTION!
• Do not stand on the
base. Be cautious
when children are
near.
• Refrain from holding the
speaker’s net.
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.
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
further away from the television.
Caution
• The main unit and supplied speakers are to be
used only 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.
