First Things First

Unpack the system

Unpack the system and its accessories. You should
have:

one subwoofer

two front speakers

two surround speakers

one center speaker with remote control sensor

one remote control

five speaker wires

built-in cable for remote control

Check for moisture

Just as moisture can form on the inside of windows
on a cold day, it can also form on the inside of your
stereo, causing it to malfunction. Some situations in
which condensation might form include the
following:

Immediately after a heater has been turned on;

In a steamy or very humid room;

When the system is suddenly moved from a cold
environment to a warm, moist one; for example,
in moving the stereo from a cool air conditioned
room to an outside porch on a humid, summer
day.

If moisture forms inside the unit, it may not operate
properly. To correct the problem, turn off the power
and wait about 30 minutes for moisture to
evaporate.

Choose a Location

These guidelines should be followed when deciding
on a place to put your stereo system:

Choose a level, solid, surface. Don’t place it on a
soft surface, such as carpeting or foam rubber.

Choose a location away from direct sunlight,
radiators, air ducts, and other sources of heat.

Avoid locations that are subject to moisture,
mechanical vibration, shock, or excessive dust.

Make sure that the location has adequate air
circulation. Good ventilation is essential to
protect the system from internal heat build up.

To avoid color interference, the unit should also
be placed at least one to two feet from the
television.

Be a Pack Rat

It is a good idea to keep the box and all of the packing
materials your system came with in case you need to store,
move or ship the unit at a later date.
