Locating
≥Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.
≥Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you
cannot set them up on an even surface.
≥Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are
approximate.
≥Use the speakers with the short cords (SB-FDM3) for the front and center, and the ones with the long cords (SB-RDM3) for the surround
speakers.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television
These 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 television’s demagnetizing function should correct the
problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the
television.
Notes on speaker use
≥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 receiving howling from a microphone
or 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.
Caution
≥Use the speakers only with the recom-
mended system. 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
walls using methods other than those described in this manual.
