2 About speakers

Before making connections, place all speakers in their respective positions. The positioning of the speakers is important because it controls the whole sound quality of your audio system. Place the speakers depending on your listening position by following the instructions below.

1 Front speakers

Center speaker

3 Surround speakers

4 Subwoofer

Carrying most of the music/sound effects. Place them on both sides of your TV set. Approximately at the same height as the TV set.

Emitting center sound such as dialog. Place it precisely between the front speakers. You can place the center speaker on top of the TV if the top is flat, on the floor under the TV, or inside the TV rack. Be sure to place the speaker in a stable position.

Providing the surround/ambient effects. Place them behind your listening position, facing slightly inward. About 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) from the floor.

Adding the low-frequency bass sound. As a recommended positioning of the subwoofer, place the subwoofer on the outside of either the right or the left front speaker. For more detail, read “3 Placing the speakers - Subwoofer”.

3 Placing the speakers

Center speaker

When placing the speaker on top of the TV rack, etc., attach the provided fasteners at two points on the bottom of the

Peel off

the seal

Front and surround speakers

Placing the speakers

When placing the speakers on a flat surface, attach the included non-skid pads to the corner on the bottom of the speakers. This prevents the speakers from sliding.

Mounting the speakers on the wall

You can mount the front and/or surround speakers on a wall. To mount them on a wall, use the holes of the brackets attached on the back panels of the speakers.

1 Fasten two screws into a firm wall or wall support at

the interval shown below.

70 mm (2-3/4”)

Minimum 20 mm (25/32”)

Caution

• Each speaker weighs 0.8 kg (1.76 lbs).

• Do not mount the speakers on thin plywood or a wall composed of a soft surface material. If mounted, the screws may pull out of the flimsy surface and the speakers may fall. This may damage the speakers or cause personal injury.

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

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

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

Holes

10 mm (2-3/4”)

Installing the speakers on commercially available speaker stands

When you install the speakers on commercially available speaker stands, you need to attach the brackets (option) to the bottom of the speakers using screws (option).

Subwoofer

It is recommended to place the subwoofer on the outside of either the right or the left front speaker (figure A). The placement shown in figure B is also possible, however, if the subwoofer is placed directly facing the wall, the bass sound may lessen because the sound from the subwoofer and the sound reflected by the wall may cancel out each other. To prevent this from happening, face the subwoofer obliquely to the wall.

speaker and on the top of the TV.

Notes

• Do not place the center speaker on top of a TV whose area is smaller than the bottom of the speaker. If placed, the speaker may fall and cause injury.

• Do not place the center speaker on top of a TV if the top is inclined.

• Do not touch the adhesive surface after peeling off the seal, as this will waken 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 fall.

Non-skid pad

2 Hang the speaker by mounting the holes on the

protruding screws. Make sure that the screws are securely affixed by the narrow parts of the holes.

70 mm (2-3/4”)

*Please use the speaker stand that fits with this size.

Insert only M4 screws through the outside holes.

Use the non-skid pads

Attach the provided non-skid pads at the four corners on the bottom of the subwoofer to prevent the subwoofer from moving by vibrations, etc.

4 Connecting speakers and antennas to the receiver

CAUTION

Plug the power cables for the AV receiver and other audio/video components into an AC outlet only after you complete all other connections.

Keep the speaker cables as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up excess cable. If the connections are faulty, you will hear no sound from the speakers.

Before connecting

• Cut the supplied speaker cable to the appropriate length as required.

• Remove the insulation coating at extremity of each speaker cable by twisting the coating off.

Notes

• Do not let uninsulated bare wires touch each other as this

could damage the speaker or the amplifier.

• Securely twist the bare wires and lump them together to

prevent them causing a short circuit.
