Main unit (rear)

FM outdoor antenna [Using a TV antenna (not included)]

The antenna should be installed by a competent technician.

75  coaxial cable

(not included)

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 17.

[Note]

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

Setup example (Recommended: 5.1ch layout) 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 only the front speakers and subwoofer for space saving (2.1ch layout).

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.

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.

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.

step 2 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.

Speaker connections

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

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

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.

i: White j: Blue line

≥ Be careful not to cross (short circuit) or reverse the polarity of the

speaker wires as doing so may damage the speakers.
