•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.

_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.
• Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in
excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.
m
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (W32") away from the system for
proper ventilation.
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.
Subwoofer
Place 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 (11W_d') from
the TV.
speakers
Center speaker
Put on a rack or shelf.
Vibration caused by the
speaker can disrupt the
picture if it is placed directly
on the TV.
Main unit Digital transmitter
To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain
good airflow around the main unit, position it with
at least 5 cm (2") of space on all sides.
Wireless system
Place the wireless system within
approximately 10 m (33 ft) from
the main unit.
Do not use the wireless system or
the digital transmitter in a metal
cabinet or bookshelf.
e.g.I_"_
Surround speakers
120o qb
The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these
other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, the
wireless link indicator (" _ ") flashes on the main unit, and there is a brief
interruption in audio coming from the surround speakers.
This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best
possible performance of your home theater system.
If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location
outside the range of the wireless system or move the wireless system
nearer to the main unit.
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.

If irregular coloring occurs on your TV
The center speaker is designed to be used close to a TV, but the picture
may be affected with 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
3ersists, 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,
Caution
• Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.
e.g. Center speaker

•Attaching 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 attached
should be capable of supporting 10 kg (22 Ibs) per screw.
Consult a qualified building contractor when attaching the
speakers to a wall. Improper attachment may result in damage to
the wall and speakers.
