Additional notes on speaker
for HTZ-222BD
Install the main front left and right speakers at
an equal distance from the TV.
Precautions:
The center speaker supplied with this system
are magnetically shielded. However, depending
on the installation location, color distortion
may occur if the speaker is installed extremely
close to the screen of a television set. If this
case happens, turn the power switch of the
television set OFF, and turn it ON after 15 min.
to 30 min. If the problem persists, place the
speaker system away from the television set.
The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and
so should not be placed near a TV or monitor.
Magnetic storage media (such as floppy discs
and tape or video cassettes) should also not be
kept close to the subwoofer.
Do not attach the subwoofer to a wall or
ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.

Subwoofer:
The position of the subwoofer is not so
critical, because low bass sounds are not
highly directional. But it is better to place the
subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it
slightly toward the center of the room to reduce
the wall reflections.
