step 1 Positioning
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.
Note the following points:
≥ Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥ Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (
proper ventilation.
≥ 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 19.
Setup example ("Surround layout (Recommended)": Standard

ventilation.
§2 Place it on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by the speaker can
disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the TV.
§3 Position it to the right or left of the TV, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so
that it will not cause vibration. Leave about 30 cm (11
TV.
Depending on the room layout, you may like to use all the speakers at the

Notes on speaker use
≥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 lifespan 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 TV
The center speaker is designed to be placed close to a TV, but the picture
may be affected on some TVs and setup combinations.
If this occurs, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.
The demagnetizing function of the TV should correct the problem. If it
persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.
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.
