step1

Assembling the 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.

[PT754] : Front speakers

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

∫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.

e.g. [PT754] Front speakers

String (not included)

Thread from the wall to the speaker and tie tightly.

	(not included)	Wall
Rear of the speaker		(529/32z)

step2 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 6.

[Note]

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32z) 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	e.g. [PT660]
	Front speakers

Center speaker

60°

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

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 (1113/16z) from 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 (2z) of space on all sides.

e.g. [PT660]

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. 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

∫ 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 Ibs) 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)

Wall or pillar		4.0 mm to 6.0 mm (5/32q to 1/4q)

∫ 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 Ibs).

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

e.g. Center speaker
