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 system.
• 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 AVRS80 and SW-S80 must be set for your local main
voltage BEFORE plugging into the AC main supply.
Voltages are 110-120V/220-240V AC, 50/60 Hz.
(China, Korean and General models only)
After connecting components

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.
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 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.
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.
Peel off the
seal
Fastener
■ 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.
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.

y
• You can use the digital jacks to input PCM, Dolby Digital and
DTS bitstreams.
• All digital input jacks are acceptable for 96-kHz or lower
sampling digital signals.
• By connecting to the digital jacks, you can enjoy listening to
the multi-channel sound track of a DVD source with sound
field effects.
Notes
• The OPTICAL jacks on this system conform to the EIA
standard. If you use an optical cable that does not conform to
this standard, this system may not function properly.
• Once you have connected a recording component to this
system, keep its power turned on while using this system. If the
power is off, this system may distort the sound from other
components.
