Notes on connections
When connecting the related system components, be sure to
refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the components
you are connecting.
• Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet
before plugging or unplugging any connection cords.
Plugging/unplugging connection cords without
disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions
and may damage the unit.
• Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their
connections are imperfect, the sound and video may not
be produced or there will be noise interference.
• If this unit is installed in the proximity of a source of
magnetism such as a magnet, color irregularities due to
interference with the speakers may be observed on the
TV monitor screen. Be careful in the installation.
Microcomputer malfunction
If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears,
even though all connections have been made properly, reset the
microcomputer by referring to <Resetting the unit>.

¤CAUTION
The power of this equipment will not be completely cut off
from the wall outlet when the power switch is turned off.
Install the equipment so that the wall outlet is easily
accessible and, in case of emergency, immediately unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet.
Speaker placement
Front speakers
Install in the front left and right positions. Symmetrical
installation is ideal. The front speakers are always used regardless
of the listen mode.
Center speaker
Install in the front center position. This speaker improves
the acoustic image positioning and reproduction of sound
movement.
Surround speakers
Install straight on or slightly behind the left and right of the
listening position, at in an as high as possible height (ideally
one meter above the height of the listener’s ears). Symmetrical
installation is ideal. The surround speakers reproduce the feeling
of movement and presence of sound.
Subwoofer
In general, install on the front center position near the front
speakers. The subwoofer reproduces the powerful bass effects. As
it is less directional to other speakers, it can be installed so that
the bass can be reproduced best according to the listening room
layout.
Surround Back speaker (KRF-V6400D only)
Install on the rear of the listening position, at the same height as
the surround speakers.
• Ideal surround play is possible when all of the speakers
above are installed. If the center speaker and/or the
subwoofer is not installed, the system optimizes playback
according to the current system by assigning the sound
of absent channels to other speakers.
• KRF-V5450D :
Up to two subwoofers can be connected to KRF-V5450D.
See <Connecting speakers>
* for how to connect
the subwoofers.
