QUICK START GUIDEQUICK START GUIDEQUICK START GUIDE

steps 1–3

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 (“Surround layout (Recommended)”:
Standard surround placement)
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at
approximately the same distance from the seating
position. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

§1 Position with at least 5 cm 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 from the TV.

Depending on the room layout, you may like to use all
the speakers at the front (“Front layout (Alternative)”)
(B 10, 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 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
≥This 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.

step 3 Connections

Turn off all equipment before connection and read the
appropriate operating instructions.

Do not connect the AC mains lead until all other
connections are completed.
