Connecting the powered subwoofer
Connect the supplied powered subwoofer (SP-PWA85/SP-PWA55) using the system cord (supplied).
• Connect the system cord by matching the 5 marks on the plugs to the ones on the center unit and powered subwoofer.
Connecting the satellite speakers
7 Speaker layout
When positioning the speakers, to obtain the best possible sound
from this system you need to place all satellite speakers at the same
distance from the listening position with the front of each speaker
facing toward the listener.
When you cannot place them at the same distance from the
listening position, you can make adjustment so that
speakers operate as if they are placed at the best position.
(
A pg. 54)
• Normally place the powered subwoofer in front of you. (Since
bass sound is non-directional, you do not need to place it at the
same distance as the other speakers.)
NOTE
• Although the satellite speakers and the powered subwoofer are
magnetically shielded, the TV screen may appear mottled. In this
case, keep the distance between them to the TV to over 10 cm.
• For safety reasons, always ensure that there is sufficient space behind
the powered subwoofer.
• When you position the satellite speakers in a relatively high place,
such as the top of your bookshelf, place them on a flat and level
surface.
• Speaker grilles are not removable (except SP-THA55C, SP-THA55F,
and SP-THA55S). Trying to remove them by force may damage
them.
• Be sure to place the powered subwoofer to the TV’s right. If you place
the powered subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient distance
between them to prevent the TV from appearing mottled.
NOTE
Only for TH-A85
• Do not lean against the satellite speakers, as the speakers could fall
down or break, possibly causing injury. Especially be careful not to
let children lean against them.
