Getting Started

Step 1: Installing the System

Getting Started

How to position the system

Install the system by referring to the illustration below.

Attaching the stand to the unit

You can install the unit in a raised position by attaching the stand.

1 Insert the pins of the stand in the holes

on the bottom of the unit.

A Front speaker (L (left)) B Front speaker (R (right)) C Subwoofer D Unit

Since the system is equipped with S-Force PRO Front Surround* technology, you can enjoy surround sound with the speakers in front of the listening position.

* S-Force PRO Front Surround 3D reproduces a

convincing sense of distance and space, resulting in a true surround sound experience without the need for rear speakers.

• Use caution when placing the speakers and/or speaker stands attached to the speakers on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.

• Do not lean or hang on a speaker, as it may fall down.

• The speaker of this set is not anti-magnetic. This may result in color unevenness when it is placed near a CRT TV or projector.

Stand (supplied)

2 Secure the stand with the screws.

Screws (supplied)

• You can install the speakers on a wall. For details, refer to the supplied “Speaker Installation Guide.”

Step 2: Connecting the System

Do not connect the AC power cord (mains lead) of the unit to a wall outlet (mains) until all the other connections are made. To assemble the speakers, refer to the supplied “Speaker Installation Guide.”

• When you connect another component with a volume control, turn down the volume of the other components to a level where sound is not distorted.

Connecting the speakers

Connect the speaker cords to match the color of the SPEAKERS jacks of the unit. When connecting to the unit, insert the connector until it clicks.
