Precautions

Installation

• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat build-up in the System.

DO NOT install the System in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.

• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with the TV.

Power sources

• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always
pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with
wet hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense in the lenses on the System in the
following cases:

• After starting to heat the room

• In a damp room

• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm
place.

Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case,
leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

Internal heat

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the System.
Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the System.
–A cooling fan is inside the System to prevent heat

build-up.

DO NOT block the ventilation openings or
holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or
cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System,
unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before
operating any further.

DO NOT disassemble the System since there
are no user serviceable parts inside.

• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.

Speaker layout

To enjoy multi-channel sound, locate the speakers as
follows. If you cannot locate like this, adjust the speaker
setting by using the SPK. SETTING menu (see page 38).

Press and hold

• When connecting the speaker cords, match their polarity
with that of the speaker terminals: red/grey/green to (+) and
black to (–).

• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as
indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the System.

• The front speakers and center speaker are magnetically
shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not
installed properly, it may cause color distortions. So, pay
attention to the following when installing the speakers.
– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the

TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the
speakers.
Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s

main power switch again.
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have
followed the above instruction. If this happens, move the
speakers away from the TV.
