Simple setup
STEP1 Locating
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 thick curtains.
≥The left and right speaker pairs are the same with respect to the front and surround speakers.

The angles in the diagram are approximate.
RQT7433

≥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
≥Hold the speakers by the sides.
Applying pressure to the front net can
damage the speaker.
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 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.
Caution
≥The main unit and supplied speakers are
only to be used 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.
Other speaker setup options
∫ Attaching to a wall
1 Drive a screw (not included) into a wall.
2 Fit the speaker securely onto the screw(s) with the hole(s).
≥The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should
be capable of supporting 10 kg (22 lb.) per screw. Consult a
qualified building contractor when attaching the speakers to a
wall. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall and
speakers.
e.g.
Front speaker
So that the speaker fits up against the wall
squarely, be sure to press the speaker cable
down into the groove.

The S-VIDEO OUT terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the

luminance (Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals
These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive
output and provide a purer picture than the S-VIDEO OUT
terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color
difference signals (P
B/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in
order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.
≥The description of the component video input terminals depends
on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/P
B/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR).
Connect to terminals of the same color.
≥After making this connection, select “Darker” from the “Black
Level Control” in the “Video” tab (‹ page 20).
.
To enjoy progressive video
≥Connect to the component video input terminals on a 480P
compatible television. (Video will not be displayed correctly if
connected to an incompatible television.)

are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have
another brand of television.

Conserving power
The main unit consumes a small amount of power, even when it is turned off
(For U.S.A. and Canada: approx. 0.4 W or for units with PX printed on the
outer packaging and Latin America: approx. 0.9 W). To save power when the
unit is not to be used for a long time, unplug it from the household AC outlet.
You will need to reset some memory items after plugging in the unit.

Listening caution
EST. 1924
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s
time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic
Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you
to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe
level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear
without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly,
without affecting your sensitive hearing.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal”
can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level
BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
≥Start your volume control at a low setting.
≥Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably
and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
≥Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing
damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for
a lifetime.
