continued use.

• After replacing the batteries, set the manufacturers’ codes again

(see pages 45 to 48).

CAUTION:

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:

• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:

(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

• Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may

differ in voltage.

• Always replace both batteries at the same time.

• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

IMPORTANT:

After connecting the speakers, set the speaker installation information properly. You can use Quick Speaker Setup for easy speaker installation information setting (see page 23).

• To obtain the best possible Surround/DSP effect, see “Setting the Speakers” on page 25.

When using only one surround back speaker, connect the ª cord to the RIGHT ª terminal and the

cord to the LEFT · terminal.

Placing speakers

Front speakers and center speaker

• Place these speakers (position of the mid-range speaker units) at the same height from the floor.

• Point these speakers aiming at the listener’s ears.

Surround and surround back speakers

• Place these speakers at a position which is 1 meter higher than the listener’s ears.

• Point these speakers down aiming at the listener’s ears.

Subwoofer

• You can place it wherever you like since bass sound is non-directional. Normally place it in front of you.

Note:

Ideal speaker layout requires that all speakers be placed at the same distance from the listener. However, since in some places it may be difficult to fulfil this requirement, this unit can adjust the delay time so that the sounds through all the speakers reach the listener with the same timing. (See page 26.)

Connecting the subwoofer speaker

You can enhance the bass by connecting a subwoofer. Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the rear panel, using a cable with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
