Getting Started
Quick Start Guide
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.
[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (
13
/32z) away from the system for proper ventilation.
Setup example
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are
approximate.
[PT670] Using “Auto speaker setup” (B 12) is a convenient way to get the ideal surround sound from your speakers when you are unable to place
them.
If irregular coloring 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 demagnetizing function of the TV should correct the problem. If it
persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.
Notes on speaker use
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.
Caution
Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.
