Positioning
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.
Setup example
Place the front, center, surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. Using “SMART SETUP” (
>
15) is a convenient
way to get the ideal surround sound from your speakers when you are unable to place them. The angles in the diagram are approximate.
If irregular colouring occurs on your TV
The center speaker is designed to be used close to a TV, but the
picture may be affected with some TVs and setup combinations.
If this occurs, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.
The demagnetising function of the TV should correct the problem. If it
persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.
Caution
Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.
e.g. Center speaker
≥This system is a 5.1ch sound system.
≥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.
≥For optional wall mount, refer to page 43.
≥Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.
NOTE
120°
Surround speakers
Position the speakers as illustrated and
place them at the same height or higher
than ear level.
Subwoofer
Place to the right or
left of the TV, on the
floor or a sturdy shelf
so that it will not
cause vibration.
Leave about 30 cm
from the TV.
45º to 60º
Front speakers
Center speaker
Put on a rack or shelf.
Vibration caused by the
speaker can disrupt the
picture if it is placed
directly on the TV.
Main unit
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.
NOTE
Wireless system*
≥Place the wireless system within
approximately 15 m from the main unit,
and in a horizontal position with the top
panel faced upward.
≥To allow for proper ventilation and to
maintain good airflow around the
wireless system, position it with at least
5 cm of space on all sides.
To avoid interference, maintain the following
distances between the wireless system and
other electronic devices that use the same
radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).
The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if any
of these other devices interfere with its communication. When this
happens, the wireless link indicator (“ [W1] ”) flashes on the main
unit, and there is a brief interruption in audio coming from the
surround speakers.
This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the
best possible performance of your home theater system.
If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another
location outside the range of the wireless system or move the
wireless system nearer to the main unit.

system
* Do not use the wireless system or
the digital transmitter in a metal
cabinet or bookshelf.
≥Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound
quality will be negatively affected.
≥You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful
life if you play sound at high levels over extended
periods.
≥Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid
damage:
–When playing distorted sound.
–When the speakers are reverberating due to a record
player, noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous
signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic
instrument.
–When adjusting the sound quality.
–When turning the unit on or off.
≥Positioning speakers in front
It is possible to locate all the speakers in front of the
listening position. However the optimal surround sound
effect may not be obtainable.
NOTE
TIPS
Caution
≥The main unit and supplied speakers are to be used only as
indicated in this setup. 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 damage 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 described in this manual.
