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.
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.
Turn off all equipment before connection and read the appropriate operating instructions.
Do not connect the AC mains lead until all other connections are completed.
Pay attention to the type of speaker and the connector colour when you 
place the speakers.
Main unit (rear)
Connect to the terminals of the same colour.
Use of the speaker cable stickers is convenient when making cable 
connections.
Speakers (rear)
Insert the wire fully, taking care not to insert beyond the wire insulation.
i: White
j: Blue line
≥ Be careful not to cross (short circuit) or reverse the polarity of the 
speaker wires as doing so may damage the speakers.
step 1
Positioning
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.
≥ For optional wall mount, refer to page 17.
[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper 
ventilation.
Setup example (Recommended: 5.1ch layout)
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same 
distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are 
approximate.
§1
Position with at least 5 cm of space on all sides for proper ventilation.
§2
Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by the speaker can disrupt 
the picture if it is placed directly on the TV.
§3
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.
Depending on the room layout, you may like to use only the front 
speakers and subwoofer for space saving (2.1ch layout).

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.
