Before use
Precautions for use
o Do not strike the enclosure (cabinet) or front speaker grill with hard objects. Doing so could
cause scratching or damage the speaker units.
o This product has been designed to minimize the effect of magnetism, but you should not put
magnetic recording media (including memory cards, tapes and discs) or other items that are
easily affected by magnetic fields on top of it. Doing so could result in data loss or damage.
o Set the amplifier input level in an appropriate range when listening. Excessive input could dam-
age the speaker units. Moreover, even if the input level is less than the maximum, signals with
frequent clipping, for example, will have a negative impact on the speaker units. Please be careful to prevent distortion of the audio, including the signal from the amplifier.
Cleaning
Use a soft cloth that has been dampened with a small amount of diluted neutral cleanser to wipe
away dirt on the panel surfaces.
o Use a clothing brush or a similar tool to remove dust that sticks to the top surface grill.
o Do not wipe the surface with chemical cleaning cloths, thinner or similar materials. Doing so
could damage the surface.
V
For your safety, unplug the power cord from the outlet before cleaning.

Precautions for installation
o Do not install in a location that becomes hot, including places exposed to direct sunlight or near
heating equipment. Furthermore, do not place it on top of an amplifier or other equipment that
generates heat in excess of this unit's operating temperature range. Doing so might result in dis-
coloration, deformation or malfunction.
o There are speakers in the top and bottom of the bass unit. Be careful not to block them.
o Do not install in a location that becomes humid, including near humidifiers. Moreover, do not
install in a location that is exposed to soot. Doing so could cause damage.
o Do not install in an unstable location, such as on an unsteady stand, a slope or in a place
exposed to vibrations. It could fall down or fall over, causing injury.
o This product has been designed to minimize magnetic effects, but installation near a CRT tele-
vision might cause color inconsistencies to appear on its screen. If this should occur, move the
speakers and the television far enough apart so that the inconsistencies disappear. LCD televi-
sions and plasma televisions are not affected by magnetism.
o Do not place obstructions between the speaker system and the listening position. Obstructions
block the direct sound, which can affect the sound quality.
o Ideally, no items that reflect sound or resonate should be near the system. For example, glass
doors sometimes resonate. To prevent this, fix them securely or use thick curtains or similar
materials to absorb sound.
o In addition, parallel walls make it easy for standing waves to occur, so place furniture to disrupt
parallel surfaces and use thick curtains or similar materials to absorb sound.

Installation
Satellite speaker placement
In order to prevent vibration and slipping, attach the
included anti-slipping pads to four places on the bottom
of each speaker.
Subwoofer placement
The subwoofer in this system uses an HVT (HorizontalVertical-Transforming) structure to minimize vibration,
making it possible to place it on the top of a table, for
example.
In order to prevent the sound from being blocked, leave
an open gap of at least 1 cm (1/2") above and below the
speaker.
Vertical placement of subwoofer
This subwoofer should ordinarily be placed horizontally,
but vertical placement is also possible.
When placing the subwoofer vertically, remove its feet
and attach the included cover pads. When installing the
subwoofer vertically, attach the included anti-slipping
pads to it in four places.
In order to prevent the sound from being blocked, leave
open gaps of at least 1 cm (1/2") on each speaker side.
Anti-slipping pads
Speaker placement
For stereo playback, the left and right speakers should be
placed so that they form an equilateral or isosceles triangle with the listener at the top corner.

Connections (Checking the phase)
Satellite speakers
If the polarities (+/−) of the left and right speakers do not match, they will be out of phase and the
sound of stereo playback will not be normal.
To check the phase, listen to a recording that has strong bass frequencies played through the left
and right speakers in mono and compare.
If the signals are in phase, the output of low frequencies will be strong, and the stereo image will
be centered between the left and right speakers. If the signals are out of phase, the low frequencies
will be weak and the stereo image will be unclear. In this case, check the polarities (+/−) of the connections between the speakers and the amplifier.
The phase can be corrected by reversing the polarity for one speaker. Speaker cables are connected
to the input terminals on the backs of the speakers. The red terminal is positive (+) and the black
terminal is negative (−). Check these carefully when making connections.

Basic operations
1 Press the STANDBY/ON button to turn the
unit on.
o Turn the amp on last to prevent the sudden out-
put of loud noise.
2 Operate the playback device.
Refer to its operation manual.
3 Adjust the volume.
Use the amp to adjust the volume of the satellite
speakers.
Use the VOLUME knob on the subwoofer to balance
its level with the satellite speakers.
4 Adjust the phase.
Use the PHASE switch to control the phase of the
low-frequency signal output from the subwoofer.
Sometimes the placement of the subwoofer and
satellite speakers causes the phase to differ, making
the low frequencies uneven. Try playback with this
switch set to both NORMAL and REVERSE and use
the setting that sounds more natural.
Automatic power saving function
This product is compliant with the European ErP directive for standby power.
In order to comply with this directive, if 25 minutes
elapse without any audio input to the subwoofer, it will
automatically enter standby and the power switch indicator will become unlit.
When audio is input to the subwoofer again, it will end
standby and the power switch indicator will light.
