malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can
cause electric shock or malfunction. If this
occurs, immediately disconnect the unit
from the power supply and contact your
dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the
unit. They contain flammable gases which
can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by
yourself. If sound is interrupted, indicators
fail to light, smoke appears, or any other
problem that is not covered in these
instructions occurs, disconnect the AC
mains lead and contact your dealer or an
authorized service center. Electric shock
or damage to the unit can occur if the unit
is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed
by unqualified persons.

Placement of speakers
•Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound
quality will be negatively affected.
• Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them
from falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the
speakers from falling if you cannot set them up on an
even surface.
Main unit
• Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the
system for proper ventilation.
• To allow proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow
around the main unit, position it with at least 5 cm of
space on all sides.
• Do not block the ventilation holes of the main unit.
Caution
• Do not stand on the
base. Be cautious when
children are near.
e.g. Front
speaker
• Do not touch the front
netted area of the
speakers. Hold by the
sides.
e.g. Center speaker
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.
Setup example
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in
the diagram are approximate.

Center speaker
• Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the
picture if it is placed directly on the television. Put the
center speaker on a rack or shelf.
• To prevent the speakers from falling, do not place directly
on top of the television.
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 a
space of 30 cm from the television.

Placement of speakers (continued)
Note
• 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,
a microphone (except
For Continental Europe
), 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 television
The front and center 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 television’s demagnetizing function should correct the
problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from
the television.
Assembling the front speakers
Preparation
• To prevent damage or scratches, lay down a soft cloth and perform assembly on it.
• For assembly, use a Phillips-head screwdriver.
• For optional wall mount, refer to page 9.
Make sure you have all the indicated components before starting assembly, setup, and connection.

■Preventing the 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.

7Attaching to a wall
You can attach all of the speakers (except subwoofer) to
a wall.
• The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be

attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper attachment
may result in damage to the wall and speakers.

Making the connections
Making the connections
Connect the AC mains lead only after all other connections have been made.
• Ensure that you have the complete accessories before making the connections.
Conserving power
The main unit consumes a small amount of power, even when it is in standby mode (approx. 1 W). To save power when the
unit is not to be used for a long time, unplug it from the household mains socket. You will need to reset some memory items
after plugging in the unit.
To household mains socket
Connect to the speakers.
Attach the speaker-cable stickers to make connection easier.
Be careful not to cross (short-
circuit) or reverse the polarity of
the speaker wires as doing so may
damage the speakers.
Connect to the power supply.
For Saudi Arabia and Kuwait
BE SURE TO READ THE NOTE ON AC MAINS LEAD ON PAGE 2 BEFORE CONNECTION.
Note
The included AC mains lead is for use with this unit only. Do not use it with other equipment.

The COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals provides a purer picture. These terminals can be used for either
interlaced or progressive output. Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals (PB/PR)
and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.
• The description of the component video input terminals depends on the television or monitor (example: Y/PB/PR,
Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR).
• Connect to terminals of the same color.
