Simple setup
Simple setup
≥Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are 
approximate.
≥Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will 
be negatively affected.
≥Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from 
falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from 
falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.
Positioning for best effect
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 curtain.
Main unit
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for 
proper ventilation. 
Center speaker
≥You can also put this speaker directly under the television.
≥Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it 
is placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a 
rack or shelf.
Subwoofer 
Place to the right of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so 
that it won’t cause vibration.
Leave 10 cm on the right for the woofer to be effective. Leave 
10 cm at the rear for ventilation.

Simple setup
[Note]
The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should 
be capable of supporting 10 kg per screw.
1[For\the\United\Kingdom]and]Continental\Europe]
Remove the stand before attaching 
the front and center speakers.
BEFORE REMOVING THE STAND
≥Take the speaker cable out of the stand’s hole if it is 
threaded through.
≥Lay the speaker on a soft cloth.
Unscrew the screw with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
2Screw a screw (not included) into the 
wall.
3Fit the speaker securely onto the 
screw with the hole or holes.
Preparation
Remove the stand (➡ step 1 above).
Ensure the stands meet these conditions before purchasing them.
≥Observe 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.
≥The stands must be stable even if the speakers are in a high 
position.
Notes on speaker use
≥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 receiving howling from 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 television
These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but 
the picture may be affected with some televisions and set-up 
combinations.
If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.
The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the 
problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the 
television.
