Placement of speakers
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound fi eld. Note the following points:
• Place speakers on fl at secure bases.
• Placing speakers too close to fl oors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick
curtains.
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.
• Other speaker setup options (\ page 10).
• Use only supplied speakers
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.
Main unit
• Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system
for proper ventilation.
• To allow proper ventilation and to maintain good airfl ow
around the main unit, position it with at least 5 cm of space
on all sides.
• Do not block the ventilation holes of the main unit.
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 fl oor or
a sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration. Leave a
space of 30 cm from the television.

broadcasts, or continuous signals from an oscillator, test disc, or

If irregular coloring occurs on your television
The front and center 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.
