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.

Left and right speakers are interchangeable, but front and surround speakers are not.

Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. 
The angles in the diagram are approximate.

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

[Note]

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system 
for proper ventilation.

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.

Do not block the ventilation holes of the main unit.

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 about 
30 cm from the television.

Caution

Do not stand on the base. 
Be cautious when children are 
near.

Do not touch the netted 
area of the speakers.
