either button in this case.
• Some diagrams in this manual are simplified
or exaggerated for the purpose of explanation.
• You can operate some functions differently
from the explanation given in this manual.
• Depending on the disc/file, you may not
obtain the explained result even after following the operation in this manual.
• The following marks refer to the usable

• Make sure that the antenna conductors do not
touch any other terminals. This could cause poor
reception.
• When using an antenna other than those supplied with this system, refer to the operation
manuals for the antenna and converter for
details of connection.
• When positioning the antennas, find the best
position for reception while listening to an actual
radio program (refer to “Listening to radio broadcasts” on page 17).
• You cannot receive an FM/AM radio broadcast
without the antenna connection.

■ IMPORTANT
• Improper speaker cable connection reduces the

• The supplied left/right speakers are magnetically
shielded, but color irregularity may occur on the
TV depending on some conditions. To prevent
color irregularity, set up the speakers following
the instructions below.
(The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded.)
1. Turn off the main power of the TV before
setting up the speakers.
2. Place the speakers enough distance from the
TV so that they do not cause color irregularity
on the TV.
3. Wait for approximately 30 minutes before
turning on the main power of the TV again.

CAUTION
• The supplied speakers are manufactured exclusively for use with the supplied main unit as
parts of the NX-F7/NX-F3 system. Do not connect the supplied speakers to devices other than
the supplied main unit. Doing so may damage
the speakers.
• Do not connect external speakers together with
the supplied speakers. The change in impedance may damage the main unit and the speakers.
You can detach the speaker cover.

Using the speakers with commercially available speaker stands
The left and right speakers can be fitted onto commercially available speaker stands. Before fitting the speakers onto commercially available speaker stands, follow the instructions shown below.
Preparation
Left and right speakers for NX-F7
Detach the original speaker stands.
Left and right speakers for NX-F3
Remove the speaker cables from the tabs and
slots on the speakers.
Remove the cable from
the shorter tab first.
Longer tabBottom view
CAUTION
• The left and right speakers can be installed on a wall.
• When installing the speakers on a wall, be sure to have the speakers installed by qualified personnel.
• DO NOT install the speakers on the wall by yourself to avoid unexpected damage from them falling off the
wall due to incorrect installation or weakness in wall structure.
• Care must be taken in selecting a location for speaker installation on a wall. Injury to personnel or damage
to devices may result if the installed speakers interfere with daily activities.
Speaker layout
This system is designed to provide virtual surround sound by positioning the 3 speakers in front. (The set of
the left and right speakers and the subwoofer refers to 2.1 channel.) The front surround function processes
input signals to create a realistic sound field.
