Locating
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points.
≥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.
Locating
Do not 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.

Setup example
Main unit
≥Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately
the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the
diagrams are approximate.
≥Use only supplied speakers
Notes on speaker use
Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will
be negatively affected.
≥Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from
falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from
falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.
≥You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you
play sound at high levels over extended periods.
≥Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage.
– When playing distorted sound.
– When the speakers are receiving howling from a record player,
noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an
oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.
– When adjusting the sound quality.
– When turning the unit on or off.
Main unit
[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for
proper ventilation.
Center speaker
≥Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it
is placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a
rack or shelf.
≥To prevent the speakers from falling, do not place directly on top
of the television.
Subwoofer
Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy
shelf so that it won’t cause vibration. Leave 10 cm at the rear for
ventilation.
Caution
Hold the speakers by the sides. Applying pressure to the front net
can damage the speaker.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television
The supplied speakers are designed to be used close to a
television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions
and setup combinations.
If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.
The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the
problem. If it persists, move the speakers farther away from the
television.
Caution
≥The main unit and supplied speakers are to be used only
as indicated in this setup. Failure to do so may lead to
damage to the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may
result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified service
person if damage has occurred or if you experience a
sudden change in performance.
≥Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using
methods other than those described in this manual.

1 Drive a screw (not included)
into a wall.
2 Fit the speaker securely onto
the screw(s) with the hole(s).
≥The wall or pillar on which the
Wall or pillar
speakers are to be attached
should be capable of supporting
10 kg per screw. Consult a qualified building contractor when
attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper attachment may result in
damage to the wall and speakers.
≥When mounting the front and surround speaker to a wall, we
recommend using a string (not included) to prevent it from falling
(‹ page 5).
≥Use of optional speaker cables is recommended for wall-mounted
front and surround speakers. (You can also remove the speaker
cables from the pipes supplied with this system.)
Front and surround speakers
Safety precautions
Center speaker
150 mm
230 mm
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high
temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These
conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby
shortening the unit’s service life.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit
and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when
setting the unit up on a ship or other places where DC is used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not
damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or
electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC
mains lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric
shock.
Safety precautions/Maintenance
Foreign matter
In this position, the
speaker will likely
fall if moved to the
left or right.
Move the speaker so
that the screw is in
this position.
Service
∫ Fitting speaker stands (not included)
(Center speaker only)
Ensure the stands meet these conditions before purchasing them.
Note the diameter and length of the screws and the distance
between screws as shown in the diagram.
≥The stands must be able to support over 10 kg.
≥The stands must be stable even if the speakers are in a high
position.

Glossary
Decoder
I/P/B
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This
is called decoding.
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with
DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.
I: Intra coded picture
This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when
adjusting the picture.
P: Predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.
B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and
P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can
also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can
be recorded on one disc using this method.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the
world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic
sound effects are possible.
Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound
that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest
level of sound before distortion occurs.
Frame still and field still
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving
picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these
fields one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is
made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred,
but overall quality is high.
A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a
frame still so picture quality is lower.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on
CDs.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and
information with menus.
Sampling frequency
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave
(analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital
encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per
second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the
original sound.
