Connections
•Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.
• Since different components often have different terminal names, carefully read the instructions supplied with the component
you are going to connect.
Connecting a TV
To view pictures and on-screen displays, connect a TV to the center unit.
• Connecting to a TV through a VCR, or to a TV with a built-in VCR, may cause distortion of picture.
• You need to set “MONITOR TYPE” in the PICTURE menu correctly according to the aspect ratio of your TV. See page 58.
7To connect a TV without the component video input jacks
7To connect a TV with the component video input jacks
If your TV has the component video input jacks, connect it with the component video cord (not supplied) to view a high
quality picture.
• Connect “Y” to “Y,” “P
B” to “PB,” “PR” to “PR” correctly.
• If your TV supports the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by making the progressive scan

When placing the speakers, to obtain the best possible sound from this system, you need to place all satellite speakers at the
same distance from the listening position with the front of each speaker faced toward the listener.
When you cannot place them at the same distance from the listening position, you can make adjustment as if those
speakers are placed at the best position. See page 61.
• Normally, place the powered subwoofer in front of you. (Since bass sound is non-directional, you do not need to place it  at
the same distance as the satellite speakers.)
NOTES:
• Although the satellite speakers and the powered subwoofer are magnetically shielded, the TV screen may be mottled. In this case, keep the
distance from them to the TV by over 10 cm.
• For safety reasons, always ensure that there is a sufficient space behind the subwoofer.
• When you place the satellite speakers on the relatively high position, such as the top of your bookshelf, place them on a flat and level surface.

When attaching the rear speakers to a wall
Using the supplied speaker wall brackets, you can fix the rear speakers to the wall.
CAUTION: Attaching the brackets to the wall
When attaching the brackets to the wall, have them attached to the wall by a qualified person.
DO NOT attach the brackets to the wall by yourself to avoid an unexpected damage due to their falling from the wall, caused by incorrect
attachment or weakness in the wall.
Location of attachment to wall:
Take care when selecting a location for attaching rear speakers to the wall. Injury to personnel, or damage to equipment, may
result if the speakers are attached in a location which interferes with daily activities.
Attaching speakers to the brackets
1 Use the supplied screws to attach the brackets to the rear speakers.
2 Adjust the angle of the rear speakers.
Loosen the screw slightly, make an adjustment, and then tighten the screw firmly.
CAUTION:
If the screws are not tightened firmly, this may cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment.
When attaching the AM loop antenna to a wall
You can attach the AM loop antenna to the wall.

When attaching the center unit to a wall
You can attach the center unit to a wall.
C AUTIONS:  location of atta chment to a wall
•  Take ca re when selecting a location for attaching the center unit  to the wall. \
Inju ry to personnel, or damage to the center
unit, may  result if the center unit is attached in a location which inte rfe res with daily activities, or a location that the us ers
a re liable to knock their bodies or heads against the center unit.
•  A void a location above a bed, sofa, water tank, sink, etc. or in a passag\
e.
C AUTIONS:  atta chment to a wall
•  The center unit weighs app roximately 2.95  kg (6.51 lbs). When you operate the buttons on the center unit, an additi\
onal
fo rce will be applied to the center unit in downwa rd di rection. The refo re, su fficient ca re must be  requi red when attaching
the center unit to a wall to p revent any accidents caused by the unit ’s falling o ff.
•  Befo re attaching the center unit to a wall, check the wall (or other  related aspects) you want to attach it to, and verify
whether the st rength of the wall will be su fficient not only to suppo rt the weight of the center unit itself but also to withst and
the additional downwa rd fo rce which will be applied to it during operations.
(Do not attach the center unit to a plywood or plasterboa rd wall. The center unit will fall and sustain damage as a  result.)
If you cannot judge the st rength of the wall or other aspects, consult a qualified person (such as\
 a qualified const ructor).
•  The sc rews needed for attachment a re not supplied. Use sc rews which a re compatible with the st rength and material of
the pillar or wall.
•  When attaching the center unit, the sc rews must be secu red tightly in all th ree locations. Failu re in attaching the center
unit to the wall using all th ree holes on the back of the center unit makes for an unstable attachment\
, and it constitutes a
safety haza rd as the center unit may fall down.

Example of atta chment
The p rocedu re below is an example of how to attach the center unit to a wall:
It does not make any guarantee for safety while using the center unit on the wa\
ll.  Take into account such factors as the
material, strength, and the status of the wall as well as the reinforcing material, and the possible changes that will take pla ce
over time.
NO TES:
• You need to connect the cords to the center unit (and attach the supplie\
d stand) bef ore attaching it to the wall.
• DO NO T plug the po wer cord into an A C outlet bef ore attaching the center unit to the w all.
• When attaching the supplied stand to the center unit, connect the video \
cords , AV COMPULINK cord, and so on b y passing them th rough the
holes at the bottom of the stand, and do not attach the legs to the stan\
d. See page 9.
1 Select the place (wooden wall) where the center unit is to be attached\
.
Avoid a plywood or plasterboard wall.
2 For reinforcement purposes, prepare the wooden board which will be used to attach the center unit to the wall.
Before proceeding, check the position of the supports inside the wall.
Use a sturdy board sized as below:
• A (Height): Higher than the unit
• B (Width): Wider than the distance between the two supports inside the
wall
• C (Thickness): 9 mm to 15 mm
