Positioning
This unit comes equipped with a Dolby Virtual Speaker circuit installed. Using just the supplied speakers and the subwoofer, and by reproducing
acoustic effects very similar to 5.1ch surround, you can enjoy a true "home theater" experience even within a limited space.
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points:
≥ 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.
]Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.
Setup example
Subwoofer
Place to the right or left of the
television, on the floor or a
sturdy shelf so that it will not
cause vibration. Leave about
30 cm from the television.
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 useful life 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.
Caution
Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.

∫ Preventing the front speakers from falling
≥ You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the
walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.
≥ Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the
appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a
surface that may not have strong enough support. Improper
attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.

Front speakers
Left and right speakers are interchangeable.
DO
60º
To allow for proper ventilation and to
maintain good airflow around the main unit,
position it with at least 5 cm of space on all
sides.
If irregular colouring occurs on your television
The front speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the
picture may be affected with some televisions and setup combinations.
If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.
The demagnetizing function of the television should correct the problem.
If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.
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.
String (not included)
Thread from the wall to the
