Additional notes on speaker
Install the main front left and right speakers at
an equal distance from the TV.
Precautions:
These speakers are not magnetically shielded
and so should not be placed near a TV or
monitor. Magnetic storage media (such as
floppy discs and tape or video cassettes) should
also not be kept close to these speakers.
Do not attach the subwoofer to a wall or
ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.
The unit’s front speaker and surround speaker
can be attached to speaker stand CP-31B.
When using the CP-31B, the speaker must
be attached to the stand’s bracket using the
screws supplied with this unit. (The screws (M5)
supplied with the CP-31B cannot be used to
attach the speakers from this unit).

Positioning the system
The following illustration shows an example
of positioning the system. Note that the
illustrations in these instructions differ from
the actual unit for explanation purposes. For
the best possible surround sound, all the
speakers other than the subwoofer should be
placed at the same distance from the listening
position ( A

Subwoofer:
The position of the subwoofer is not so
critical, because low bass sounds are not
highly directional. But it is better to place the
subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it
slightly toward the center of the room to reduce
the wall reflections.

Caution
• Be careful to make sure children do not put their
hands or any objects into the *subwoofer duct.
*subwoofer duct: A hole for plentiful bass sound
on subwoofer cabinet (enclosure).
• Place the front, surround and center speakers well
out of the reach of children.
Otherwise it may result in the speaker falling
down and causing personal injury and/or property
damage.
• The speakers contain magnet parts, so color
irregularity may occur on the TV screen (CRT) or
computer monitor screen. Please use the speakers
away from the TV screen (CRT) or computer
monitor screen.
