≥ For wall mount, refer to page 32.
≥ Be careful not to cross (short-circuit) or reverse the polarity of the
speaker wires as doing so may damage the speakers.
≥ Don’t use a front speaker as a surround speaker or vice versa. Verify
the type of speaker with the label on the rear of the speaker before
connecting the appropriate cable.
≥ To avoid injury by falling or dropping the speaker, place the speaker cables
with care not to stumble or hook.

STEP 2: Positioning

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
amplifier and/or the speakers, and may
result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified
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.
≥ Do not touch the front netted area of the
speakers. Hold by the sides.
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the
sound field.
Setup example
Place the front, center and surround speakers at
approximately the same distance from the seating position.

≥ Place the speakers at the same height or higher than ear
level.
≥ 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.
≥ Positioning speakers in front
It is possible to locate all the speakers in front of the listening position.
However the optimal surround sound effect may not be obtainable.
≥ 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 32.
∫ If irregular coloring occurs on your TV, turn
the TV off for about 30 minutes.
If it persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.
