Safety precautions

Placement

Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high
temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These conditions
can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby shortening the
unit’s service life.

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Voltage

Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit and
cause a fire.

Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when
setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.

AC mains lead protection

Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not damaged.
Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or electric shock. Do
not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.

Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC mains
lead can cause electric shock.

Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric shock.

Foreign matter

Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric
shock or malfunction.

Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or
malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the
power supply and contact your dealer.

Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain flammable
gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

Service

Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is interrupted,
indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other problem that is not
covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC mains lead and
contact your dealer or an authorized service center. Electric shock or
damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled or
reconstructed by unqualified persons.

Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power source
if it is not to be used for a long time.

Positioning for best effect

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 a
thick curtain.

speaker (R)

Surround
speaker (L)

Monaural connection cable

Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately
the same distance from the seating position.
The angles in the diagram are approximate.

Front speakers (left, right)

Place on the left and right of the TV at seated ear height so that
there is good coherency between the picture and sound.

Center speaker

Place underneath or above the center of the TV. Aim the
speaker at the seating area.

Surround speakers (left, right)

Place on the side of or slightly behind the seating area, higher
than ear level.

Subwoofer

The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a
reasonable distance from the TV.
Note that some experimentation can yield the smoothest low
frequency performance. Placement near a corner can increase
the apparent output level, but can result in unnatural bass.

Note

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for
proper ventilation.

Step 1

Speaker setup

Connect the speakers to the receiver.

Turn off the receiver before connecting the speakers.

See your speaker system's operating instructions for details.
