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 away from the
system for 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 22.
Setup example
(“
Surround layout (Recommended)
”:
Standard surround placement)
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at
approximately the same distance from the seating
position. The angles in the diagram are approximate.
§
1 Position with at least 5 cm of space on all sides for
proper ventilation.
§
2 Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by the
speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly
on the TV.
§
3 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 from the TV.
Depending on the room layout, you may like to use all the
speakers at the front (“Front layout (Alternative)”) (

Easy setup).
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 colouring occurs on your TV
The center speaker is designed to be used 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 demagnetising function of the TV should correct the
problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away
from the TV.
Turn off all equipment before connection and read the
appropriate operating instructions.
Do not connect the AC mains lead until all other
connections are completed.
Pay attention to the type of speaker and the connector
colour when you place the speakers.

Use of the speaker cable stickers is convenient when
