PREPARATION STEPS

In order to enjoy sound and video images with this sound system, follow the procedures as described below. See each page for details.

Installing batteries in the remote control (P.3)

Speaker setup (P.11)

•Speaker placement (P.11)

•Installing the speakers (P.12)

Connections (P.14 – 19)

•Connecting TV and audio/video components (P.14)

•Connecting the antennas (P.16)

•Connecting the speakers (P.17)

•Connecting the AC power cord (P.19)

•Turning on the power (P.19)

Before connecting components

•Do not connect this unit or other components to the mains power until all connections between the components have been completed.

•Be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say, L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”. Some components require different connection methods and have different jack names. Refer to the operation instructions for each component to be connected to this unit.

•Insert the plugs properly. The speakers may not output any sound or may output noise if they are not inserted properly.

•The name of jack corresponds to input selector.

•The VOLTAGE SELECTOR on the rear panel of this unit must be set for your local main voltage BEFORE plugging into the AC main supply. Voltages are 220/240 V AC, 50 Hz. (General model)

SPEAKER SETUP

This unit has been designed to provide the best soundfield quality with a 5-speaker system, using front left and right speakers, rear left and right speakers and a center speaker.

The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. The center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.).

Notes

•If you do not use any of effect speakers (rear and/or center), change the settings of SPEAKER SET items at the SET MENU (p.62) to designate the signals to other terminals you connect speakers to.

•If you use speakers (with different tonal qualities) instead of the included speakers, the tone of a moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the same manufacturer or speakers with the same tonal quality.

Speaker placement

Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.

Center speaker

Front speaker (R)

Rear speaker (R)

1.8 m (6 feet)

Front speaker (L)

Subwoofer

Rear speaker (L)

Front speakers

Place the front left and right speakers an equal distance from the ideal listening position. The distance between each speaker and each side of the video monitor should also be the same.

Center speaker

Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as possible (such as directly over or under the monitor) and centrally between the front speakers.

Rear speakers

Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor.

Subwoofer

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.

Note

•Although the speaker system in this unit is magnetically shielded, it may still affect the color on the television monitor when using this unit near the television. Adjust the relative positions of this unit and the television if this happens.

PREPARATION

English

11

SPEAKER SETUP

Installing the speakers

■ Placing the center speaker

Place the speaker on TV whose top is flat or on the floor under the TV or inside the TV rack so that it is stabilized. When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent the speaker from falling down, put the provided fasteners at four points on the bottom of the speaker and the top of the TV.

■Mounting the front and rear speakers

When mounting the front and rear speakers on a wall, use the holes on the speakers’ back panels.

1Put the provided pads at the four corners on the rear of the front and rear speakers to prevent the front and rear speakers from moving by vibrations.

Fastener

Peel off the

seal 2 Fasten screws into a firm wall or wall support as shown below.

Cautions

•Do not place the speaker on top of the TV whose area is smaller than the bottom area of the speaker. If placed, the speaker may drop out causing an injury to you.

•Do not place the speaker on top of the TV with an inclination.

•Do not touch the adhesive surface after peeling off the seal as this will weaken its adhesive strength.

•Thoroughly wipe clean the surface where the fastener is to be applied. Note that adhesive strength is weakened if the surface is dirty, oily or wet and that this may cause the center speaker to drop.

■Placing the front and rear speakers

When placing the front and rear speakers on a flat surface, attach the included non-skid pads to the corners on the bottom of the speakers as shown below. This prevents the speakers from sliding around.

•Make sure that the screws are securely caught by the narrow parts of the holes.

•You can use the lower holes on the rear of the front/rear speakers.

60 mm

Cautions

•Each speaker weighs 1.1 kg (2 lbs. 6 oz.). Do not mount them on thin plywood or a wall with soft surface material. If mounted, the screws may come out of the flimsy surface and the speakers may fall. This damages the speakers or causes personal injury.

•Do not install the speakers to a wall with nails, adhesives, or any other unstable hardware. Long-term use and vibrations may cause them to fall.

•To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, fix them to the wall.

•Select a proper position on the wall to mount the speaker so that no one will injure his/her head or face.

SPEAKER SETUP

■If you want to mount a speaker on a commercially available

speaker stand (for the front/rear speakers)

The screw holes (at an interval of 60 mm) on the bottom and the rear of the speaker can be used to mount the speaker on a speaker stand.

* Those screw holes can be used with M4 screws only.
