1 Press the speaker
cable into the base
cover groove as far
as possible.
Preparation
≥To prevent damage or scratches, lay down a soft cloth and perform assembly on it.
≥For assembly, use a Phillips-head screwdriver.
≥Make sure you have all the indicated components before starting assembly, setup, and connection.
≥There is no difference between the right and left speakers and pipes.
Front speaker assembly
You can use the front speakers without assembling with the stands. In this case, attach the included
rubber pads to the base of the speakers. This prevents vibration from causing the speakers to move
or fall over. Use 3 or 4 pads per speaker.
1 Attach the pipes to the bases.
1 Insert pipe B.
3 Attach the pipes to the speakers.
Slot the screw head in between the 2 stoppers of the speaker
groove.
Ensure the pipe is fastened on straight by gradually tightening the
right and left screws alternately until fully tightened.
To prevent a short-circuit, do not cover the connection
terminals with the pipe.
2 Secure pipe B to the base.
Ensure the screws are securely fastened.
2 Assemble the pipes.
4 Connect the speaker cables.
1 Thread the speaker cable from pipe A through pipe B and
the base.
For quicker threading, loosely fold the cable in half (do not
crease), pass the folded portion through the pipe, and then pull
the rest of the cable through the base.
2 Join pipe A to pipe B.
3 Secure the pipes.
Ensure the screws are securely fastened.

∫ Preventing the speakers from falling over
Preparation
Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to the wall
(➜ diagram right).
≥You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the
walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.
≥Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the
appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a
surface that may not have strong enough support. Improper
attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points:
STEP
2
Positioning
≥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 thick curtains.
≥
The left and right speakers are the same with respect to the front and surround speaker pairs.
To prevent the speaker from falling over, thread the string (not
included) from the wall to the speaker as shown and tie tightly.

The angles in the diagram are approximate.
SURROUND
Main unit
(L, R)
≥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.
Main unit
[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) away from the system
for proper ventilation.
Center speaker
≥Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it
is placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a
rack or shelf.
≥To prevent the speakers from falling, do not place directly on top
of the television.
Subwoofer
Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy
shelf so that it won’t cause vibration. Leave 10 cm (4q) at the rear
for ventilation.
Caution
Do not stand on the base and shake
the speaker. Be cautious when children
are near.
CENTER
SUBWOOFER
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 reverberating due to a 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.
If irregular coloring occurs on your television
The supplied 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 farther away from the
television.
≥Other speaker setup options
(➜ page 26).
Caution
≥The main unit and supplied speakers are to
be used only as indicated in this setup.
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.
