Front and surround speaker assembly [RT70]

Included parts to be used

2 Front and 2 Surround speakers (with cover plate)

Preparation

≥To prevent damage or scratches, lay down a soft cloth and perform

assembly on it.

≥For assembly, use Phillips-head and flathead screwdrivers. ≥Make sure you have all the indicated components before starting assembly,

positioning, and connection.

≥The front and surround speaker pairs as well as the stand pairs are

different.

–Check the label on the rear of the front speaker before attaching the stand

(➡ right).

–The stand with the shorter cable is for the front speaker.

≥For optional wall mount, refer to page 17.

Preventing the front and surround speakers from falling over

Preparation

Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to the wall (➡ diagram right).

≥You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to

match the walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.

≥The walls or pillars to which the screw eyes are going to

be fastened should be capable of supporting 20 kg. 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.

To prevent the speaker from falling over, thread the string (not included) from the wall to the speaker as shown and tie tightly.

Preparation [RT70]

Check to make sure the screws on the front and surround speakers are not loose.

Positioning for best effect

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points:

≥Place the front, center, and surround speakers at

approximately the same distance from the seating position.

The angles in the diagram below are approximate.

≥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.

2 Speaker cables [RT70]

Use only supplied speakers

Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.

[Note]

≥Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them

from falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling over if you cannot set them up on an even surface.

≥Left and right speakers are interchangeable, but front and

surround speakers are not.

Connect the supplied speakers and subwoofer to this unit only. Do not attempt to connect the supplied speakers and subwoofer to the external amplifier and so on.

≥ Do not attempt to attach these

speakers to walls using methods other than those described in this manual.

2 Connect the speaker cables.

e.g.

Attach the speaker cable stickers (included) to speaker cables to make

connection easier.

Insert the speaker cables into the terminals in accordance with the stickers you just attached

and the diagram below.

[RT30] All speaker cables are fixed to the back of the speakers from the time of shipment. You only need to connect

the speaker cables to the terminal on this unit. The illustration shows SC-RT70, but this connection method is also used for SC-RT30.

The front and surround speaker cables were connected to the back of the speakers in step 1 (➡ 9). Connect

Notes on speaker use

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