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, 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 coloring occurs on your television

The front and center 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 demagnetizing function of the television should correct 
the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away 
from the television.

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.
