This unit comes equipped with a Dolby Virtual Speaker circuit installed. Using just the supplied speakers and the
subwoofer, and by reproducing acoustic effects very similar to 5.1ch surround, you can enjoy a true “home theater”
experience even within a limited space.
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.
]Note]
≥
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.
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.
≥
Connect the supplied speakers and subwoofer to this
unit only. Do not attempt to connect the supplied
speakers and subwoofer to the external amplifier and
so on.
Caution
Do not touch the
front netted area of
the speakers. Hold
by the sides.
If irregular colouring occurs on your television
The front 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 demagnetising function of the television should
correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers
further away from the television.
