Simple Setup

Positioning

step1 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.

≥For optional wall mount, refer to page 5.

[Note]

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) 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.

Subwoofer

Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration. Leave about 30 cm (1113/16q) from the television.

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 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 demagnetizing function of the television should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.

Speaker installation options

∫ Attaching to a wall

You can attach all of the speakers (except subwoofer) to a wall.

≥The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 10 kg (22 lbs) per screw. Consult a qualified building contractor when attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall and speakers.

1 Drive a screw (not included) into the wall.

At least 30 mm (13/16q)

‰4.0 mm (5/32q)

‰7.0 to 9.4 mm

(9/32q to 11/32q)

Wall or pillar		4 to 6 mm (5/32q to 1/4q)

2 Fit the speaker securely onto the screw(s) with the hole(s).

Front and surround speakers

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

Center speaker

190 mm (715/32q)

∫ Fitting speaker stands (not included)

(except subwoofer)

Ensure the stands meet these conditions before purchasing them. Note the diameter and length of the screws and the distance between screws as shown in the diagram.

≥The stands must be able to support over 10 kg (22 lbs).

≥The stands must be stable even if the speakers are in a high position.

e.g. Center speaker

Listening caution

EST. 1924

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

≥Start your volume control at a low setting.

≥Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

≥Leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
