STEP
Positioning the speakers
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 a thick curtain.
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.
•
The angles in the diagrams are approximate.
•
Left and right speakers are interchangeable, but front and surround speakers are not.
•
Use only the 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.
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position.
Front speakers
Speakers are designed identically so that no left or
right channel orientation is necessary.
Subwoofer
Place on either side of the television, on the floor or a
sturdy shelf to reduce vibration.
Leave about 30 cm from the television.
Center speaker
Do not place the center speaker directly on the
television as vibration may cause it to fall or disrupt the
picture.
Place it on a rack or shelf.

Note
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 emit strange noises (howling) from 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 colouring occurs on your television
The front and center 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 further away from the
television.
Surround speakers
Place on the side of or slightly behind the seating area.
Caution
Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers.
Hold by the sides.
Example: Center speaker
Caution
Use the speakers only with the recommended
•
system. Failure to do so can damage this unit
and speakers, and can cause fire. Consult a
qualified service person if damage occurs or if
a sudden change in performance is apparent.
Do not attempt to attach these speakers
•
to walls using methods other than those
described in this manual.
