About the Speaker System

Precautions

Do not place heavy or large objects on top of the speaker.
Doing so could provoke the speaker to fall, causing
damages or bodily injury.
Do not place the speaker on an unstable surface, as doing
so may cause the speaker to fall and cause damage or
bodily injury.
Switch off and unplug your AV equipment and consult the
instructions when connecting up components. Make sure
you use the correct connecting cables.
Do not sit or stand on the speaker, or let children play on
the speaker. Doing so could provoke the speaker to fall,
causing damages or bodily injury.
Be careful to make sure children not to put their hands or
any objects into the speaker duct*.
*Speaker duct: A hole for plentiful bass sound on speaker
cabinet (enclosure).
Place the center speaker at a safe distance from the
child's reach.
Otherwise it may result in the speaker falling down and
causing personal injury and/or property damage.
Install the subwoofer in a well-ventilated location where it
will not be exposed to high temperatures and high
humidity.
Do not place the subwoofer near stoves or other heating
equipment or at locations exposed to direct sunlight, as
these can have an adverse effect on the cabinet and
internal components. Also, do not install the unit where
there is too much dust or high humidity, as these can
cause malfunctioning or breakdowns. (Avoid cooking
tables and other locations where the unit would be
exposed to heat, steam and soot.)
Keep the subwoofer away from devices such as cassette
decks which are sensitive to magnetic fields.
Do not place cups, glasses, or other containers with fluids
on top of the units, since the units may be damaged if the
liquid spills.
The installation location selected should have a sturdy
floor surface. Mounting the subwoofer on a long-pile
carpet should be avoided, since the carpet may touch the
driver's diaphram, causing distorted sound.
Please install the subwoofer away from the antenna cable
of the receiver, as noise can be caused with installation
close to the antenna cable. In such a case, use the
subwoofer at a position away from the antenna and the
antenna cable,
The front grilles on front/center/surround speakers cannot
be removed. Do not try to forcibly remove them since
doing so may damage the grille.
When mounting front speakers or surround speakers on a
wall surface, make sure that the wall you intend to mount
the speakers on is strong enough to support them.
When attaching the speakers to brackets, always use the
furnished brackets for wall mounting.
Do not attach center speaker and subwoofer to the wall or
ceiling, as they may cause injury in the event of a fall.
Do not connect the supplied subwoofer to any amplifier
other than the one supplied with this system. Connection
to any other amplifier may result in malfunction or fire.
Front/Center/Surround speakers incorporate
autoregression technology to protect the speakers. If the
speakers stop emitting noise when receiving too large a
signal, turn the volume down on the receiver and wait a
few seconds. The protection feature disables itself
automatically.

Effective Combination of Subwoofer and
speakers
Center/Surround
When the subwoofer is combined with Front/Center/
Surround speakers in a total system, the sound
characteristics produced are like those shown in the
accompanying graph, depicting the enhancement of the
bass frequencies.
This is particularly effective for reproducing ground
rumbles and other deep sound effects found in movies.
