∫ Preventing the speakers from falling over

Preparation

Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to the wall (➜ diagram below).

≥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.

To prevent the speaker from falling over, thread the string (not included) from the wall to the speaker as shown and tie tightly.

5 Fasten the speaker cable to the base.

≥Using the same polyfoam as in procedure 2 will assist you in

safely and securely fastening the speaker cables.

You can attach all of the speakers to a wall.

1 Drive a screw (not included) into the 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 lbs) 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.

≥Use of optional speaker cables is recommended for wall-mounted front speakers. (You can also remove the speaker cables from the pipes

supplied with this system).

≥[HT930] [HT933] When mounting the front speakers to a wall, we recommend using a string (not included) to prevent it from falling (➜ page 7).

RQT7972

∫ Fitting speaker stands (not included)

(Except Front speakers)

Ensure the stands meet these conditions before purchasing them. Note the diameter and length of the screws and the distance between screws as shown in the diagram.

≥The stands must be able to support over 10 kg (22 lbs). ≥The stands must be stable even if the speakers are in a high position.

STEP

Positioning

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.

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.

Caution

≥The active subwoofer 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.
