NOTE
• Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.
• The front and center 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.
• The surround speakers and the subwoofer are not magnetically
shielded.
If it is located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably cause
color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the
speaker nearby the TV or monitor.
• Be sure to place the subwoofer to the TV's right side. If you place the
subwoofer to the TV's left side, keep sufficient distance between
them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.
