About the Speaker System

Precautions

Do not place heavy or large objects on top of the speaker. 
Doing so could provoke the speaker to fall, causing 
damages or bodily injury.

Do not place the speaker on an unstable surface, as doing 
so may cause the speaker to fall and cause damage or 
bodily injury.

Switch off and unplug your AV equipment and consult the 
instructions when connecting up components. Make sure 
you use the correct connecting cables.

Do not sit or stand on the speaker, or let children play on 
the speaker. Doing so could provoke the speaker to fall, 
causing damages or bodily injury.

Be careful to make sure children not to put their hands or 
any objects into the speaker duct*.
*Speaker duct: A hole for plentiful bass sound on speaker 
cabinet (enclosure).

Place the center speaker at a safe distance from the 
child’s reach.
Otherwise it may result in the speaker falling down and 
causing personal injury and/or property damage.

Install the subwoofer in a well-ventilated location where it 
will not be exposed to high temperatures and high 
humidity.

Do not place the subwoofer near stoves or other heating 
equipment or at locations exposed to direct sunlight, as 
these can have an adverse effect on the cabinet and 
internal components. Also, do not install the unit where 
there is too much dust or high humidity, as these can 
cause malfunctioning or breakdowns. (Avoid cooking 
tables and other locations where the unit would be 
exposed to heat, steam and soot.)

Keep the subwoofer away from devices such as cassette 
decks which are sensitive to magnetic fields.

Do not place cups, glasses, or other containers with fluids 
on top of the units, since the units may be damaged if the 
liquid spills.

The installation location selected should have a sturdy 
floor surface. Mounting the subwoofer on a long-pile 
carpet should be avoided, since the carpet may touch the 
driver’s diaphram, causing distorted sound.

Please install the subwoofer away from the antenna cable 
of the receiver, as noise can be caused with installation 
close to the antenna cable. In such a case, use the 
subwoofer at a position away from the antenna and the 
antenna cable.

The front grilles on front/center/surround speakers cannot 
be removed. Do not try to forcibly remove them since 
doing so may damage the grille.

When mounting front speakers or surround speakers on a 
wall surface, make sure that the wall you intend to mount 
the speakers on is strong enough to support them.

Do not attach center speaker and subwoofer to the wall or 
ceiling, as they may cause injury in the event of a fall.

Do not connect the supplied subwoofer to any amplifier 
other than the one supplied with this system. Connection 
to any other amplifier may result in malfunction or fire.

Front/Center/Surround speakers incorporate 
autoregression technology to protect the speakers. If the 
speakers stop emitting noise when receiving too large a 
signal, turn the volume down on the receiver and wait a 
few seconds. The protection feature disables itself 
automatically.

Effective Combination of Subwoofer and 

Front/

Center/Surround

 speakers

When the subwoofer is combined with Front/Center/
Surround speakers in a total system, the sound 
characteristics produced are like those shown in the 
accompanying graph, depicting the enhancement of the 
bass frequencies. 
This is particularly effective for reproducing ground 
rumbles and other deep sound effects found in movies. 

Operation

Set the receiver’s cross-over frequency at 200 Hz. (see 

X.Over

 on page 27

).

Making amplifier settings

Select the speaker setting of the receiver. (see
