IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

Getting started

RQT7089

Safety

1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type

described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.

2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug

where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one way. If the plug doesn’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn’t fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so

that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it.

4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be

careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any other device as this can result in fire or electric shock.

5. Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug

the unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms.

6. Attachments and accessories—Use only the attachments and

accessories recommended in these operating instructions.

Installation

Placement

1. Ventilation—Situate the unit so that it receives proper

ventilation. Do not install in a confined space such as a bookcase or cabinet. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear of the unit. To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire due to overheating ensure curtains and other materials do not obstruct the unit’s ventilation.

2. Foreign material—Ensure objects and liquids do not get into the

unit. Avoid exposing the unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, and shock.

3. Magnetism—Situate the unit away from equipment and devices

that generate strong magnetic fields.

4. Stacking—Do not place heavy objects on top of this unit.

5. Surface—Place the unit on a flat, level surface.

6. Carts and stands—Use the unit only with carts

and stands recommended by the manufacturer. Move carts with care. Sudden stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can cause carts to overturn.

7. Wall and ceiling mounting—Do not mount the

unit on walls or ceilings unless specified in the instructions.

Environment

1. Water and moisture—Do not use the unit near water, such as

near a bathtub or swimming pool. Avoid damp basements.

2. Heat—Situate the unit away from heat sources, such as

radiators. Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5oC (41oF) or rise above 35oC (95oF).

3. Power lines—Take care when setting up an outdoor antenna

that it is not near overhead power lines, electric lights, or electrical circuits, and that there is no danger of the antenna falling on power lines, electric lights, or electrical circuits. When installing an outdoor antenna, take extreme care not to touch such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.

4. Outdoor antenna grounding—If you connect an outdoor

antenna, ground the antenna system to protect against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information about grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. Refer to this diagram.

Maintenance

(See page 35 for details.)

Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or solvents.

Service

1. Damage requiring service—The unit should be serviced by

qualified service personnel if: (a)The AC power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or (b)Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or (c)The unit has been exposed to rain; or (d)The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a marked

change in performance; or

(e)The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

2. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that

described in these operating instructions. Refer all other servicing to authorized servicing personnel.

3. Replacement parts—When parts need replacing ensure the

servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

4. Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the servicer to

perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working condition.

STEP1 Locating

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.

≥You can also put this speaker directly under the television. ≥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.

Subwoofer

Place to the right of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it won’t cause vibration. Leave 10 cm (4q) on the right for the woofer to be effective. Leave 10 cm (4q) at the rear for ventilation.

Attaching the speaker feet

Attach these speaker feet to prevent vibration causing the speakers to move or fall over.

Standing

Laying down

Center speaker

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 thick curtain.

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

These 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 further away from the television.

Caution ≥Use the speakers only with the

recommended system. 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.
