Location
The front, center, and surround speakers should be placed at ap-
proximately the same distance from the listening position.
The angles in the diagram are approximate.
Positioning for best effect
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 curtain.
•Place the surround speakers on the side of or slightly behind the
seating position, about one meter higher than ear level.
•Vibration may cause distortion in the picture if the center speaker
is placed directly on the television. Place it on a rack or shelf.
•Place the center speaker at least 5 cm from the wall as it has a
bass reflex port in the rear.
Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using methods
other than those described in this manual.
Connections
Confirm the colors of the cords to ensure correct connection. Incor-
rect connection can damage the unit.
•Before making the connections, switch OFF the power to the am-
plifier.
•Use with an amplifier having 8 Ωimpedance for these speakers.
•Be sure to connect only positive (+) gray wires to positive (+) ter-
minals, and negative (–) blue wires to negative (–) terminals.
Connecting the cables
Before connection
To prepare the speaker cables, twist the vinyl tip and pull off.
Gray (+) Blue (–)
To prevent damage to circuitry, never short-circuit positive (+) and
negative (–) speaker wires.
After you have completed set-up and connection, wind the excess
cord and keep together with string.

Other notes
If irregular coloring occurs on your television
These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but
the picture may be affected with some televisions and set-up combi-
nations.
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 further away from the television.
The speaker nets cannot be removed.
Keep magnetized items away
Magnetized cards, bank cards, commuter passes, etc., can be dam-
aged if allowed too near speaker magnets. Clocks may also be af-
fected.
Avoid locations such as described below.
•In direct sunlight
•Near heating appliances or other sources of heat
•Where the humidity is high

The only receivers or amplifiers you should connect to these speak-
ers are those whose rated output does not exceed the above fig-
ures.
Using a receiver or amplifier with higher ratings than listed above
can cause abnormal sounds to occur because of excessive input,
damage to the receiver or speakers, and fire. If equipment is dam-
aged in any way or unexpected trouble occurs during playback, un-
plug the system from its outlet and call a serviceman for help.
Notes on speaker use
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 microphone or
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 amplifier on or off.
