STEP 1 : Preparing the
speakers

1

Use of the speaker cable stickers is
convenient when making cable connections.

e.g. Front speaker (L)

A Speaker cable sticker (supplied)
B Connector

Be sure to match the number on each sticker with the
connector color.

2

Connecting the speaker cables. Insert the
wire fully, taking care not to insert beyond
the wire insulation.

e.g. Surround speaker

Be careful not to cross (short-circuit) or reverse the polarity of the

speaker wires as doing so may damage the speakers.

Don’t use a front speaker as a surround speaker or vice versa. Verify

the type of speaker with the label on the rear of the speaker before
connecting the appropriate cable.

≥ To avoid injury by falling or dropping the speaker, place the speaker cables

with care not to stumble or hook.

≥ Do not hold the speaker in one hand to avoid injury by dropping the

speaker when carrying.

STEP 2 : Positioning

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the
sound field.

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.

≥ Keep your speakers at least 10 mm

(

away from the system for

proper ventilation.

A Center speaker

≥ Put on a rack or shelf not to interfere with the TV's

various sensors (ambient light, etc.). Vibration caused by
the speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly
on the TV.

B Front speakers
C Subwoofer
D Surround speakers

≥ Place the speakers at the same height or higher than ear

level.

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.

Positioning speakers in front

It is possible to locate all the speakers in front of the listening position.
However, the optimal surround sound effect may not be obtainable.

≥ 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 36.

∫ If irregular coloring occurs on your TV,

turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.

If it persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.
