inserted fully into the proper terminals. If a bare wire strand
touches the rear panel, a short circuit may cause the protection
function to operate, disconnecting power to the unit.

The following guidelines will help you to get the best performance
from your speaker system. See also the section on Connecting the
speakers in the Operating Instructions that came with your receiver.
• The distance between the front speakers should be about the
same as from your listening position to each speaker. Place
them at an equal distance either side of your TV and roughly at
ear-level (when you are seated in your usual listening position).
• You may want to angle the speakers slightly inward for better
image stability, especially for listeners who are not right in the
center.
• Placing the speakers close to the rear or side walls will enhance
the mid-bass performance, although too close (especially to a
corner) may result in boomy bass and degraded stereo image.
• The left and right surround speakers should be placed at about
ear-level. Depending on the layout of your room, the left and
right surround speakers may be mounted on the side walls.
• Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the
sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
Caution
• Do not attach the center speaker to the wall or ceiling. It may fall
off and cause injury. If you choose to install the center speaker
on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other
suitable means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due
to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those
nearby or damaging the speaker.
• Do not install speakers near a stove or other heating appliance,
or put them in a place exposed to the sun. Such locations may
cause the cabinet to change color and the speaker system to
break down.
• The front, center and surround speakers supplied with this
system are magnetically shielded. However, depending on the
installation location, color distortion may occur if the speaker is
installed extremely close to the screen of a television set. If this
happens, turn the television set off for 15 to 30 minutes before
switching it back on. If the problem persists, place the speaker
system away from the television set.
