Note
• Do not set the speakers in an inclined posit ion.
• Do not place the speakers in lo cations that are:
– Extremely hot or cold
– Dusty or dirty
– Very hum id
– Subject to vibrations
– Subject to direct sunlight
• Use caution when placing t h e speakers and/or speaker stands (n o t supp lied) that are attached with th e s p eak ers on
a specially treated (waxed, oi l ed , po l is h ed , et c.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.
• When cleaning, use a soft cloth such as a cleaning cl oth f or glasse s.
• Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzin e.
• Do not lean or hang on the speaker, as the speaker may fall down.
Notes on placing IR transmitter and IR receiver
• Do not install the IR receiver in a place exposed to direct sunlight or strong light such as an incandescent lamp.
• The cords of the IR transmit ter and IR receiver are for this syst em o nl y . Yo u ca nnot use a commercially available
extension cord.
Notes on placing the surround amplifier and speaker base
• Do not step and place objects other than supplied speakers on the surround amplif ie r and spe a ke r base .
• When you install the speaker on the surround amplifier or speaker base, make sure the speaker is properly stacked.
To connect the speaker cords
Connect the speaker cords after bending the bare wire at the end of the insulation. This prevents the
speaker insulation from being inserted in the speaker terminal.
Getting Started
Note
• Do not catch the speaker cord insulation in the SPEAKER jack.
Avoiding short-circuiting the speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these
precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does not touch
another speaker terminal or the bare wire of another speaker cord.
21
US
Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord
Stripped speaker cord is
touching another speaker
terminal.
Stripped cords are touching each
other due to excessive removal of
insulation.
After connectin g al l the components, speakers, and AC power cord (mains lead), out put a test tone to
check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 87.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker
other than the one currently displayed on the Setup Display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this
happens, check the speaker connect i on again.
Note
• Be sure to match the sp eaker co rd to the appropr iate termi nal on the c omponent s: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the cords
are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted.
Installing the speakers on the wall
1 Prepare screws (not supplied) that are suitable for the hole on the back of each speaker.
See the illustrations below.

About DVD software types and the conversion method
DVD software can be divided into 2 types: film-based software and video-based software.
Video-based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at 30
frames/60 f ields per s econd. Fi lm-based software is derived f rom film an d display s images at 24 frames
per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film.
In order for these i mages to appear na tural on your scree n w hen output in progr essive format, th e
progressive signal s need to be converted to match the type of DVD sof tware that you are watc hing.
Note
• When you play video-based software in prog ress ive signal format, sections of some types of ima ge s ma y app ear
unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Even though
you set to “PROGRESSIVE AUTO” or “PROGRESSIVE VIDEO,” images from the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO or
S VIDEO) jack are unaffected as they are output in th e in t e rl ace format.
