∫ Preventing the speakers from falling over

Preparation

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

≥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.

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following

STEP2 Positioning

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 speakers are the same with respect to the front and surround

speaker pairs.

≥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.

Active 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

Do not stand on the base and shake the speaker. Be cautious when children are near.

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.
