≥Use only supplied speakers

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.
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.
Active subwoofer
Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy
shelf so that it won’t cause vibration. Leave 10 cm at the rear for
ventilation.
Caution
Do not stand on the base and
shake the speaker.
Be cautious when children are
near.
Notes on speaker use
≥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, continuous signals from an
oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.
– When adjusting the sound quality.
– When turning the unit on or off.

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following
points:

≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass.
Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.
Other speaker setup options ( ➜ page 29)

If irregular coloring occurs on your television
The supplied speakers are designed to be used close to a
television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions
and setup combinations.
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 farther away from the
television.
Caution
≥The active subwoofer, supplied speakers and digital
receiver are to be used only as indicated in this setup.
Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier, the
speakers and/or digital receiver, 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.
