Use outdoor antenna if radio reception is poor.

≥ Disconnect the antenna when the unit is not in use.
≥ Do not use the outdoor antenna during an electrical storm.

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.

≥ For optional wall mount, refer to page 19.

[Note]

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (

Pay attention to the type of speaker and the connector color when you
place the speakers.

Main unit (rear)
Connect to the terminals of the same color.

Use of the speaker cable stickers is convenient when making cable
connections.

Speakers (rear)

Insert the wire fully, taking care not to insert beyond the wire insulation.

Using an indoor antenna

§1 Position with at least 5 cm (2q) of space on all sides for proper
ventilation.

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

§3 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 (11
TV.

Depending on the room layout, you may like to use all the speakers at
the front (“Front layout (Alternative)”) (B 8, Easy setup settings).

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 coloring 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 demagnetizing 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.

RQTX1101

Conserving power

The main unit consumes a small amount of power, even when it is in
standby mode (approx. 0.2 W). To save power when the unit is not to be
used for a long time, unplug it from the household AC outlet.
You will need to reset some memory items after plugging in the main
unit.

[Note]

The included AC power supply cord is for use with the main unit only.
Do not use it with other equipment. Also, do not use cords for other
equipment with the main unit.

step 4 Preparing the remote control

Batteries

CAUTION

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

≥ Use alkaline or manganese batteries.
≥ Do not heat or expose to flame.
≥ Do not leave the battery(ies) in an automobile exposed to direct

sunlight for a long period of time with doors and windows closed.

Do not:

≥ mix old and new batteries.
≥ use different types of batteries at the same time.
