Use a screwdriver (

i

) for assembling the speakers.

Do not hold the speakers in one hand to avoid injury by dropping the speakers when carrying.

When carrying the active subwoofer

 

Place the active subwoofer in a horizontal position with the top panel faced upward.

Placing the active subwoofer and the speakers too close to walls and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and 
windows with thick curtains.

If irregular coloring occurs on your TV, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the 
TV.

Keep magnetized items away. Magnetized cards, watches, etc., can be damaged if placed too close to the system.

Caution

The active subwoofer and supplied speakers are to be used only as indicated in these instructions. 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 a wall using methods other than those described in this manual.

Speaker system

When attaching the speakers to a wall

The wall or pillar to which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 33 k

g

 (72.8 lbs) per screw. 

Consultation with a qualified building contractor is recommended when attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper attachment may 
result in damage to the wall and speakers, and cause personal injury.

When placing the speakers in front of the TV

The speakers may block or interfere with the TV’s various sensors (C.A.T.S. (Contrast Automatic Tracking System) sensor, remote 
control sensor, etc.) and the 3D Eyewear transmitters on a 3D compatible TV.

If the stands are being used

Move the speakers farther away from the TV. If the TV still does not function properly, try removing the stands.

If the stands are not used

Move the speakers farther away from the TV. If the TV still does not function properly, try placing them beside the TV (
