How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.
Setup example
Place the front, center, surround and surround back speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. Using “SMART
SETUP” (
>
15) is a convenient way to get the ideal surround sound from your speakers when you are unable to place them. The angles in the
diagram are approximate.
* It is recommended to place all the surround and surround back speakers at approximately the same height.
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.
Caution
Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.

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.
≥
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 46.
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (

around the main unit, position
it with at least 5 cm (2
) of
space on all sides.

≥
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.
≥
Positioning speakers in front
It is possible to locate all the speakers in front of the
listening position. However the optimal surround
sound effect may not be obtainable.
