Simple Setup
Positioning
RQTX0105
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. 
Note the following points:
≥Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in 
excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) away from the system for 
proper ventilation.
Setup example 
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the 
same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are 
approximate.
Notes on speaker use
≥Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be 
negatively affected.
≥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.

To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain 
good airflow around the main unit, position it with 
at least 5 cm (2q) of space on all sides. Main unit
Digital transmitter
§
Wireless system§
Place the wireless system within 
approximately 10 m (33 ft) from 
the main unit.
To avoid interference, maintain the following 
distances between the wireless system and other 
electronic devices that use the same radio frequency 
(2.4 GHz band).The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these 
other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, the 
wireless link indicator (“ [W1] ”) flashes on the main unit, and there is a brief 
interruption in audio coming from the surround speakers.
This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best 
possible performance of your home theater system.
If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location 
outside the range of the wireless system or move the wireless system 
nearer to the main unit. Wireless LAN:
approx. 2 m (6
1/2 ft)

If irregular coloring occurs on your TVThe center speaker is designed to be used close to a TV, but the picture 
may be affected with some TVs and setup combinations.
If this occurs, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.
The demagnetizing function of the TV should correct the problem. If it 
persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.Caution≥Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.
e.g. Center speaker
≥Do not stand on the base. Be cautious when children are near.
e.g. [PT760] [PT954] Front speaker 
∫Attaching to a wall
You can attach all of the speakers (except subwoofer) to a wall.
≥The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached 
should be capable of supporting 10 kg (22 Ibs) per screw. 
Consult a qualified building contractor when attaching the 
speakers to a wall. Improper attachment may result in damage to 
the wall and speakers.
≥When mounting the speaker to a wall, the speaker cables with 
the pipes can be removed and used. Untie the knot from the 
upper pipe to remove the cable.
1Drive a screw (not included) into the wall. 
2Fit the speaker securely onto the screw(s) with the hole(s).
∫Fitting speaker stands (not included)
[PT760] : Center and surround speakers
[PT960] [PT954]: Center speaker
Ensure the stands meet these conditions before purchasing them.
Note the diameter and length of the screws and the distance 
between screws as shown in the diagram.
≥The stands must be able to support over 10 kg (22 Ibs).
≥The stands must be stable even if the speakers are in a high 
position.
