RQTX0136
Simple Setup
4
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 surround, you can enjoy  a true “home theater” experience even within a limited space.
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 32.
]Note]Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.
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.
CautionDo not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.
If irregular colouring occurs on your televisionThe front speakers are 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.
∫ Preventing the front speakers from falling
≥You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the 
walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.
≥ Consult a qualified housing  contractor concerning the 
appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a 
surface that may not have strong enough support. Improper 
attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.
