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 building 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 and speakers, and personal injury.
≥ Use a string of less than ‰2.0 mm, which is capable of supporting over
10 kg.

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.
Note the following points:
≥ Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥ Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper
ventilation.
≥ 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 19.
Setup example (“Surround layout (Recommended)”: Standard
surround placement)
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 all the speakers at the
front (“Front layout (Alternative)”) (B 9, Easy setup).
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.
≥ These speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not place them
near a TV, PC, or other device that is affected by magnetic fields.
≥ Keep magnetized items away. Magnetized cards, watches, etc., can be
damaged if placed too close to the speaker.
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.
step 3 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 installation option
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 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, and personal injury.
1 Drive a screw (not supplied) into the wall.
2 Fit the speaker securely onto the screw(s) with the hole(s).
DO NOT DO
≥ In this position, the speaker will
likely fall if moved to the left or
right.
∫ Tips
Use the measurements indicated below to identify the screwing positions
on the wall.
≥ Leave at least 20 mm of space above the speaker and 10 mm on each
side to allow enough space for fitting the speaker.

Maintenance
Clean this unit with a soft, dry cloth
≥ Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
≥ Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the instructions that
came with the cloth.
Do not use commercially available lens cleaners as they may cause
malfunction. Cleaning of the lens is generally not necessary although
this depends on the operating environment.
Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty. Failure to
do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the unit.
