Listening caution
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just 
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time 
to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your 
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries 
Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the 
most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that 
lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying 
blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your 
sensitive hearing.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive 
noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time  your hearing “comfort level” 
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can 
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level 
BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
≥ Start your volume control at a low setting.
≥ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and 
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
≥ Leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage 
or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
The model number and serial number of this product can be found 
on either the back or the bottom of the unit.
Please note them in the space provided below and keep for
future reference.

Getting Started
This unit comes equipped with a Dolby Virtual Speaker circuit installed. Using just the supplied speakers and the subwoofer, and by reproducing 
acoustic effects very similar to 5.1ch/7.1ch surround, you can  enjoy a true “home theater” experience even within a limited space.
Setup examplePlace the front speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position.
The angles in the diagram are approximate.
 
CautionThe front speakers have a speaker vent near the top for the speaker.
≥ Be sure not to put or drop any items inside the vent.
– Doing so may cause irregular sounds and damage to the speaker.
Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.
≥ Be sure not to hold the speaker from the vent.
– Doing so may damage the speakers and cause injuries.
≥ Be cautious when children are near.
e.g.
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.
How you set up your speakers can af fect the bass and the sound field.
≥ Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥ Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can re sult in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curta ins.
≥ For optional wall mount, refer to page 43.
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (
13/32q ) away from the system for proper ventilation.
NOTE
60º

≥Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit, and 
sound quality will be negatively affected.
≥ These speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do 
not place them near televisions, personal computers 
or other devices easily  influenced by magnetism.
≥ You can damage your s peakers and shorten their 
useful life if you play s ound 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.
