IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including ampliers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not t into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specied by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specied by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

14. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as powersupply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands

Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level—a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without aecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

ySet your volume control at a low setting. ySlowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

yOnce you have established a comfortable sound

level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES.

yDo not turn up the volume so high that you can’t

hear what’s around you.

yUse caution or temporarily discontinue use in

potentially hazardous situations.

yDo not use headphones while operating a

motorized vehicle; the use of headphones may create a trac hazard and is illegal in many areas.

Additional notes on speaker

Install the main front left and right speakers at equal distance from the TV.

Precautions:

yMake sure that all the bare speaker wire is

twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut o as a safety measure.

yThe front speakers and subwoofer are not

magnetically shielded and so should not be placed near a TV or monitor. Magnetic storage media (such as oppy discs and tape or video cassettes) should also not be kept close to the front speakers and subwoofer.

yDo not attach the subwoofer to a wall or ceiling.

They may fall o and cause injury.

Positioning the system

The following illustration shows an example of positioning the system. Note that the illustrations in these instructions dier from the actual unit for explanation purposes. For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the subwoofer should be placed at the same distance from the listening position (

Front left speaker (L)/ Front right speaker (R):

Can be mounted vertically or horizontally.

Subwoofer:

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reections.
