Safety precautions

Placement

Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby shortening the unit’s service life.

Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid distortion and unwanted acoustical effects.

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Voltage

Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit and cause a fire.

Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.

Power cord protection

Ensure the AC power cord is connected correctly and not damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.

Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC power cord can cause electric shock. Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric shock.

Foreign matter

Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric shock or malfunction.

Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the power supply and contact your dealer.

Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

Service

Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other problem that is not covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC power cord and contact your dealer or an authorized service center. Electric shock or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.

Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power source if it is not to be used for a long time.

Use only the supplied speakers

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

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

Positioning for best effect

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

• Place speakers on ﬂ at secure bases.

• Placing speakers too close to ﬂ oors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with a thick curtain.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

The supplied speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup combinations.

(SB-PF960 SB-PF860)

Front speakers

Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right channel orientation is necessary.

Center speaker

Do not place the center speaker directly on the television as vibration may cause it to fall or disrupt the picture. Place it on a rack or shelf.

(SB-WVK960 SB-WVK860)

Surround speakers

Place on the side of or slightly behind the seating area, higher than ear level.

Subwoofer(s)

Place on either side of the television,

(SB-PS960 SB-PS860

)

Note:

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

• 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 distor ted sound.

− When the speakers emit strange noise (howling) from a

microphone or 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

•

Use the speakers only with the recommended system. Failure to do so can damage the ampliﬁ er and speakers, and can cause ﬁ re. Consult a qualiﬁ ed service person if damage occurs or if a sudden change in performance is apparent.

• Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls

using methods other than those described in this manual.

on the ﬂ oor or a sturdy shelf to reduce vibration. Leave 10 cm at the rear for ventilation.

GETTING STARTED

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.
