This system is to be used only as indicated in these instructions. 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 a wall using methods other than those described in this manual.
Speaker system
Use a screwdriver (i) for assembling the speakers.Do not hold the speakers in one hand to avoid injury, you may drop the speakers when carrying them.
When attaching the speakers to a wall
The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 33 kg (72.8 lbs) per screw. Consultation with a qualified installation specialist is recommended when attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall and speakers, and personal injury.
When placing the speakers in front of the TV
The speakers may block or interfere with the TV’s various sensors (C.A.T.S. (Contrast Automatic Tracking System) sensor, remote control sensor, etc.) and the 3D Eyewear transmitters on a 3D compatible TV.
If the stands are being used
Move the speakers further away from the TV. If the TV still does not function properly, try removing the stands.
If the stands are not used
Move the speakers further away from the TV. If the TV still does not function properly, try placing them beside the TV (> 8).
