Notes
¥ Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.
¥ Do not use a new battery with an old one.
¥ Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.
¥ Do not expose the remote sensor to direct light from the sun or lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.
¥ If you do not use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from
battery leakage and corrosion.
Step 1: Speaker System Hookup
Connect the supplied speaker system using the supplied speaker cords by matching the colours
of the terminals to those of the cords. Do not connect any speakers other than those supplied
with this system.
To obtain the best possible surround sound, specify the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.)
on page 24.
Required cords
Speaker cords
The connector and the colour tube of the speaker cords are the same colour as the label of the
terminals to be connected.
Inserting Batteries into the Remote
You can control the system using the supplied remote. Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries by
matching the 3 and # ends on the batteries to the markings inside the compartment. When
using the remote, point it at the remote sensor 
 on the system.

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these
precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does
not touch another speaker terminal or the bare wire of another speaker cord.
Examples of bad conditions of the speaker cord
After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord (mains lead), output a test
tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone,
see page 27.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a
speaker other than the one currently displayed on the front panel display, the speaker may be
short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.
Notes
¥ Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the
cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.
¥ If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output
on the speakers.
To adjust the angle of the centre speaker
You can adjust the angle of the centre speaker as illustrated.
Exposed end cords are
touching each other due to
sloppy removal of insulation. Exposed end speaker cord
is touching another speaker
terminal.
Adjust the centre speaker.
Loosen the screws at the bottom of
the centre speaker as illustrated.
