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 curtains.
Left and right speakers are interchangeable, but front and surround speakers are not.
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position.
The angles in the diagram are approximate.
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.
Main unit
[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the
system for proper ventilation.
To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good
airflow around the main unit, position it with at least
5 cm of space on all sides.
Do not block the ventilation holes of the main unit.
Center speaker
Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the
picture if it is placed directly on the television. Put the
center speaker on a rack or shelf.
To prevent the speakers from falling, do not place
directly on top of the television.
Subwoofer
Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a
sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration. Leave
about 30 cm from the television.
Caution
Do not stand on the base.
Be cautious when children are
near.
Do not touch the
netted area of the
speakers.
