Assembling the front speakers

Preparation

≥ To prevent damage or scratches, lay down a soft cloth and perform assembly on it. ≥ For assembly, use a Phillips-head screwdriver. ≥ For optional wall mount, refer to page 6.

Make sure you have all the indicated components before starting assembly, setup, and connection.

Simple Setup

2 Front speakers (with cover plate)

2 Stands (with cable)

2 Bases

8 Screws

Slide into the groove.

Assembling the front speakers

Cover plate

Remove using a flat object. ≥ Keep for wall-mount

use (➜ 6).

Position the cable between the ridges.

∫ Preventing the speakers from falling

≥ You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the

walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.

≥ Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the

appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that may not have strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.

step

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.

[Note]

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

Setup example

Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

Simple Setup

Subwoofer

Place to the right or left of the TV, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration. Leave about 30 cm from the TV.

Front speakers

60º

Center speaker

Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by the speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the TV.

Main unit

To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the main unit, position it with at least 5 cm of space on all sides.

Surround speakers

120º

Positioning

Notes on speaker use ≥Use only supplied speakers

Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be negatively affected.

≥ 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, 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 TV

The center speaker is designed to be used close to a TV, but the picture may be affected with some TVs and setup combinations.

If this occurs, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.

The demagnetising function of the TV should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.

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.

Caution

≥ Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.

e.g. Center speaker

DO NOT

≥ Do not stand on the base. Be cautious when children are near.
