If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used
until a replacement cover is obtained.
A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your
local dealer.

CAUTION!

IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS
UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN
YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE

≥The front and surround speakers are

the same. Use those you have
connected the short cords to as front
speakers and those you have
connected the long cords to as
surround speakers.

≥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.

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.

Main unit

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for
proper ventilation.

Center speaker

≥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 on the right for the woofer to be effective. Leave
10 cm at the rear for ventilation.
