Simple setup
Attaching the speaker feet
Attach these speaker feet to prevent vibration causing the speak-
ers to move or fall over.
If irregular coloring occurs on your television
These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but
the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup com-
binations.
If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.
The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the
problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the
television.
Caution
≥Use the speakers only with the recom-
mended system. Failure to do so may lead
to damage to the amplifier and/or the
speakers, and may result in the risk of fire.
Consult a qualified service person if dam-
age has occurred or if you experience a
sudden change in performance.
≥Do not attempt to attach these speakers to
walls using methods other than those de-
scribed in this manual.
Refer also to “Speaker setup”, a separate guide included with these operating instructions.
Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.
Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you
cannot set them up on an even surface.
Locating and connecting the speakers
STEP1
Positioning for best effect
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound
field. Note the following points.
≥Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result
in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtain.
