Subwoofer Speaker
Set the front speakers so that their tweeters
(high-range) are aligned at about ear level and at a
horizontal angle of 45° to the prime listening position.
Ideally the center speaker should be positioned with
its top surface flush with the front speakers. However,
you may place the speaker either on top or near the
bottom of your TV set.
Place the subwoofer at any convenient location
within the vicinity of the listening position.
Set the rear speakers further back, parallel to the
walls, at 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above
prime listening position ear level.
If the space behind the listening position is insufficient
(i.e., too close to the wall), place the rear speakers
facing each other on either side.
• Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + 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.
• Do not disassemble the front cover of supplied speaker.
Note
FM antenna connection
1. Connect the FM antenna supplied to the FM
75 Ω COAXIAL terminal as temporary measure.
2. Slowly move the antenna wire around until you
find a location where reception is good, then
fasten it to a wall or other rigid surface.
• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor antenna.
Before attaching a 75 Ω coaxial cable (with a standard
type connector), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.
AM (MW) antenna connection
1. Connect the AM loop antenna supplied
to the AM and terminals.
2. If reception is poor, connect an outdoor
single vinyl-covered wire to the AM ter-
minal. (Keep the AM loop antenna con-
nected).
Connecting the FM and AM
(MW)
Antennas
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the center unit to
prevent abnormal temperature inside the center unit, thus assuring
normal operation. The cooling fan automatically starts rotating to
supply external cool air to the inside of the center unit when the
internal temperature exceeds the specified limit.
For safety, observe the following carefully.
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor
ventilation could overheat and cause damage.
• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or
holes. (If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat
may not be able to escape.)
Snap the tabs on the loop into the
slots of the base to assemble the
AM loop antenna.
