Safety precautions
Placement
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high
temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These
conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby
shortening the unit’s service life.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Vol ta ge
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit
and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when
setting the unit up on a ship or other places where DC is used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not
damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or
electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC
mains lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric
shock.
Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric
shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or
malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the
power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain
flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is
interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other
problem that is not covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect
the AC mains lead and contact your dealer or an authorized service
center. Electric shock or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is
repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power
source if it is not to be used for a long time.
CAUTION:
The AC voltage is different according to the area.
Be sure to set the proper voltage in your area before use.

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.
≥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
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 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 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, a
microphone (except [The[United[Kingdom,\Australia[and\N.Z.\), noise
from FM broadcasts, 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 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.
STEP
≥Attach the speaker-cable stickers to make connection easier.
≥The terminals of the subwoofer have high output power. Carefully connect the speaker wires.
