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.

Note |
|
• |
You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if |
Caution |
|
you play sound at high levels over extended periods. |
Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. |
• |
Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage. |
Hold by the sides. |
|
– When playing distorted sound. |
Example: Center speaker |
|
– 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. |

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.
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.
