STEP1 Positioning the speakers
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 cur tains.
≥ Left and right speakers are interchangeable, but front and surround speakers are not.
Setup example

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

≥Use only supplied speakers
Positioning the 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.
≥ To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the
main unit, position it with at least 5 cm (2q) of space on all sides.
≥ Do not block the ventilation holes of the main unit.
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.
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.
Wireless system
≥
Place the wireless system within approximately 10 m (33 ft) from the
main unit.
≥ Do not use the wireless system or the digital transceiver in a metal
cabinet or bookshelf.
Subwoofer
Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so
that it will not cause vibration. Leave about 30 cm (11

If irregular coloring occurs on your television
The front and center 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 demagnetizing function of the television should correct the problem.
If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.
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.

∫ Avoiding interference
To avoid possible interference, do not place the wireless system near any of the following devices.
The wireless system uses the same radio frequencies as other devices that may be present in your home.
e.g.
2.4GHz-band microwave oven
personal computer with
2.4GHz-band wireless LAN
2.4GHz-band cordless phone
The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, the
wireless link indicator (“ [W] ”) flashes on the main unit, and there is a brief interruption in audio coming from the surround speakers.
This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best possible performance of your Home Theater System.
If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location outside the range of the wireless system.
