Check for the ASTA mark Ï or the BSI mark Ì on the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local dealer.

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue: Neutral, Brown: Live. As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black or Blue. The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured Brown or Red.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE LETTER E, BY THE EARTH SYMBOL Ó OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN/YELLOW.

THIS PLUG IS NOT WATERPROOF—KEEP DRY.

Affix this end of the antenna to a wall or pillar where the reception is best.

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 22.

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 8, 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.

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 on some TVs and setup combinations.

RQT9588

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.

Caution ≥This 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 2 Connections

Turn off all equipment before connection and read the appropriate operating instructions.

2 This connection will also enable you to play TV audio

through your home theater system (B10, Selecting the source using the remote control). Select the appropriate audio out (e.g. Monitor) on the TV.

≥When both the HDMI cable and SCART cable are

connected, there will be no RGB output from the SCART (AV) terminal.

Set Top Box (cable/satellite/Blu-ray Disc player, etc) connection

Use this connection when you want to output the original surround audio from your STB, etc. to this unit.

Connect the optical digital audio cable (not supplied) from the DIGITAL AUDIO IN OPTICAL terminal on this unit to the OPTICAL OUT terminal on your STB.

≥If the DIGITAL AUDIO IN OPTICAL terminal is already

in use for the TV audio, reconnect the TV audio to the AUX terminal using an audio cable.



If you have various sound sources (such as Blu-ray Disc player, DVD recorder, VCR, etc.), connect them to the available inputs on the TV and the TV output should then be connected to the SCART (AV), AUX, HDMI AV OUT

or DIGITAL AUDIO IN OPTICAL terminal of this unit.
