Precautions

Important Safety Instructions

Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow all the safety instructions listed below.

Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

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 a 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 AV receivers) that produce heat.

12 . Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified 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.

13 . Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14 . Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply 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.

Position of the product

Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand.

Selecting the Listening Position

The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the size of the TV's screen from the TV. For example, if you have a 46 inch screen, locate the listening position 115 to 138 inches (9.6 to11.5 feet) from the screen.

Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°)

Front Speakers

toward you. Place the front speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ear. Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speakers.

Center Speaker

It is best to install the Center Speaker at the same height as the front speakers.

You can also install it directly over or under the TV.

Place these speakers to the side of your listening position. If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each other. Position them about 2 to

Surround Speakers 3 feet (60 to 90cm) above your ear, facing slightly downward.

*Unlike the front and center speakers, the surround speakers are used mainly for sound effects. Sound will not come from them all the time.

Subwoofer

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.
