NOTE
• Although the satellite speakers and the powered subwoofer are
magnetically shielded, the TV screen may appear mottled. In this
case, keep enough distance between the speakers and the TV.
• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on
TVs. However, if not installed properly, they may cause color
distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing the
speakers.
– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV's main
power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait
at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV's main power switch
again.
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the
above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.
• Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.
• Be sure to place the powered subwoofer to the TV's right. If you place
the powered subwoofer to the TV's left, keep sufficient distance
between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.
For TH-M508 only:
• Do not lean against the satellite speakers, as the speakers could fall
down or break, possibly causing injury. Especially be careful not to
let children lean against them.
