SPEAKER SETUP
This system 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.36) 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)
Subwoofer
Rear speaker (R)
1.8 m (6 feet)
Front speaker (L)
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.
PREPARATION
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 system is magnetically
shielded, it may still affect the color on the television monitor
when using this system near the television. Adjust the relative
positions of this system and the television if this happens.

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
two points on the bottom of the speaker and the top of the
TV.
Fastener
Peel off the
seal
■ Mounting the front and rear
speakers on a wall
When mounting the speakers on a wall, use the holes on
the speakers’ back panels.
1 Fasten screws into a firm wall or wall
support as shown in the figure.

2 Hang the holes on the protruding screws.
Make sure that the screws are securely caught by the
narrow parts of the holes.
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.
Non-skid pad
70 mm
Warning
• Each speaker weighs 0.9 kg (11 lbs. 16 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.

This section explains how to adjust speaker output levels
using the test tone generator. When this adjustment is
complete, the output level heard at the listening position
should be the same from each speaker. This is important
for best performance of the digital sound field processor,
and the various decoders (Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro
Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS).
Note
• Since this system cannot enter the test mode while headphones
are connected to this system, be sure to unplug the headphones
from the PHONES (
SILENT) jack when using the test tone.
Using the test tone
Use the test tone to balance the output levels of the
speakers.
Note
• The adjustment of each speaker output level should be made at

y
• It is not necessary to readjust the speaker levels once they are
set (as long as you do not change the speakers). You can enjoy
listening to or watching the input source at the desired volume
simply by pressing VOL +/– on the remote control.
• If the output level of the effect speakers (center, rear left, and
rear right) cannot be increased enough to match the level of the
front speakers, set “1E F. Level” on SET MENU to –10 dB (see
page 37). This setting decreases the front speaker output level
to about one-third of the normal level. After you have set “1E F.
Level” on the SET MENU to –10 dB, adjust the levels for the
center and rear speakers again.
Notes
• If “1A CENTER” on the SET MENU is set to NON, the level
of the center speaker cannot be adjusted. The test tone skips the
center speaker.
• If “1C REAR LR” on the SET MENU is set to NON, the
output level of the rear left and right speakers cannot be
adjusted in step 4. The test tone will be circulated skipping the
rear right and left speakers.
• If “1D BASS” on the SET MENU is set to FRONT, the test
tone will be circulated skipping the subwoofer.
