≥Place the speakers at the same height or higher than ear level.

EWireless system

≥To avoid interference, separate the wireless system from the other electronic devices that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).

Wireless	Wireless LAN
system
	Cordless phone

≥[BTT500W] The surround speakers can be connected to the main unit without using the wireless system. In that case, the following steps are not required.

–Digital transmitter connection (> 16)

–Connecting the AC mains lead to the wireless system (> 17)

–Preparing the wireless system (> 17)

≥Place the wireless system within approximately 10 m from the main unit.

≥To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the wireless system, position it with at least 5 cm of space on all sides.

≥Do not use the wireless system or the digital transmitter in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.

≥Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system to avoid noise generated by resonance.

≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.

≥For optional wall mount, refer to page 41.

∫ Upgrade to 7.1-channel system

The main unit is designed to enjoy the 7.1ch surround sound. A more theatre-like effect is possible with a wireless connection.

Necessary equipment:

≥Wireless system (SH-FX71) 1 optional system

≥2 additional speakers [Impedance: 3 ≠ to 6 ≠, Speaker input power: 100 W (Min)]

≥[BTT500W] Even when the surround speakers are connected to the main unit, the 7.1-channel system cannot be used.

≥For more details, refer to the operating instructions for SH-FX71.

≥The WIRELESS LINK indicator lights green when this unit and SH-FX71 are connected wirelessly. You can also check the

link status if you press and hold the [SOUND] of this unit. When WIRELESS LINK is turned on, the main unit's display shows the message, “WIRELESS SPEAKERS LINKED”.
