Safety precautions
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct 
sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive 
vibration. These conditions can damage the cabinet and 
other components, thereby shortening the unit’s service 
life. 
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can 
overload the unit and cause a fire. 
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source 
carefully when setting the unit up on a ship or other 
places where DC is used.
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not 
damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause 
fire or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy 
items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling 
the AC mains lead can cause electric shock. 
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause 
electric shock.Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can 
cause electric shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric 
shock or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately 
disconnect the unit from the power supply and contact 
your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They 
contain flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into 
the unit.
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is 
interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any 
other problem that is not covered in these instructions 
occurs, disconnect the AC mains lead and contact your 
dealer or an authorized service center. Electric shock or 
damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, 
disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the 
power source if it is not to be used for a long time.

Getting Started
 
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 29.
[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm 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.
If irregular colouring occurs on your TV
The 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 demagnetising 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.

To allow for proper ventilation and to 
maintain good airflow around this unit, 
position it with at least 5 cm 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 TV.
Place to the right or left 
of the TV, on the floor or 
a sturdy shelf so that it 
will not cause vibration. 
Leave about 30 cm 
from the TV.
Caution
≥This 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.
