Simple Setup
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.
≥ For optional wall mount, refer to page 5.
]Note]Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) away from the system for proper ventilation.
step
1Positioning
Expand your listening options with a multi-room wireless sound system.

120º
Setup example
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at appr oximately the same distance from the seating position. 
The angles in the diagram are approximate.
Left and right 
speakers are 
interchangeable.
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.
Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by the 
speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed 
directly on the television. 
Left and right speakers are 
interchangeable.
Place to the right or left of the 
television, on the floor or a 
sturdy shelf so that it will not 
cause vibration. Leave about 
30 cm (11
13/16q
) from the 
television.
Place the wireless system 
within approximately 10 m 
(33 ft) from the main unit.
§Do not use the wireless system or the digital transmitter in a 
metal cabinet or bookshelf. Center speaker
Main unit Digital transmitter
§
Subwoofer
Front speakers
Surround speakersThe 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.
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).
Wireless LAN:
approx. 2 m (6-1/2 ft)
Cordless phone and other 
electronic devices:
approx. 2 m (6-1/2 ft)

Simple Setup
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.
If irregular coloring occurs on your televisionThe front and center speakers ar e designed to be used close to a 
television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and 
setup combinations.
If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.
The demagnetizing function of the television should correct the problem. 
If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.
CautionDo not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.
e.g. Center 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 lbs) 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.
1 Drive a screw (not included) into the wall. 
2 Fit the speaker securely onto the screw(s) with the hole(s).
∫Fitting speaker stands (not included)
(except subwoofer)
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 k g (22 lbs).
≥ The stands must be stable even if the speakers are in a high 
position.
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.
