Speaker pads are not supplied for the rear speakers.
Notes
•Keep the speaker cords away from the antennas to prevent noise.
•The type of speakers supplied vary according to the model you purchased (see “Specifications” on page 71).
•Do not place the rear speakers on top of a TV.*2 This may cause distortion of the colors in the TV screen.
•Be sure to connect both left and right rear speakers.*2 Otherwise, the sound will not be heard.

Placing the sub woofer (MHC-GX90D and RV800D only)
Since the human ear cannot detect the direction and position where the bass sound being reproduced by a woofer (below 150 Hz) comes from, you can place the woofer wherever you like in your room. To obtain a better bass reproduction, we recommend you to place the woofer on a solid floor where resonance is unlikely to occur.
Tip
You can enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound while playing a DVD. To adjust the speaker volume and level, see page 33.
Notes
•Always place the woofer vertically, keeping it a few centimeters away from the wall.
•If the woofer is placed in the center of a room, the bass could be extremely weakened. This is due to the influence of the standing wave of the room. If this happens, move the woofer away from the center of the room or eliminate the cause of the standing wave, by placing a bookshelf against the wall, etc.
