Take care to prevent injury when preparing the cables.) Non-skid pads (20 pcs.) x1 (For the front, center, and surround speakers.) 1 En English Installing the speakers Before you connect the speakers, place each speaker in its respective location. Speaker positioning is very important as it affects the overall sound quality of the system. Place the speakers in locations that will optimize the sound quality at your listening position. Refer to the illustration below. The position of the subwoofer is not as critical as the position of the other speakers because sub-bass sounds are not very directional. Refer to “Installing the subwoofer” for more information. Note • Placing the speakers too close to a CRT-type TV may impair the picture color or cause a buzzing noise. In this case, move the speakers at least 20 cm (8") away from the TV. This is not an issue with LCD and plasma TVs. Installing the front, center, and surround speakers Front speakers: Place the two front speakers on the left and right sides of the TV, at approximately the same height as the TV, facing directly forward. Surround speakers: Place the left and right surround speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inward, about 1.8 meters (approx. 6 ft.) above the floor. You can place the front and surround speakers on tables or other supports, or mount them on the walls. For more information, see “Wall-mounting the front and surround speakers” on page 3. Center speaker: Place the center speaker centrally between the front speakers, facing directly forward. Installing the subwoofer Place the subwoofer on the outside of either the right or the left front speaker, as shown in A and B. □ □ □ Note: Standing waves may make it difficult to hear bass sounds here. ■ Subwoofer O Front speaker The placement shown in C is also possible, however, if the subwoofer is placed directly facing a wall and your listening position is in the center of the room, you may not be able to obtain enough bass sound from the subwoofer. This is because “standing waves” are forming between the two parallel walls and cancelling out the bass sounds. In this case, position the subwoofer at an angle to the wall. It may be necessary to break up parallel wall surfaces by placing bookshelves, etc., along them. 2 En Installing the speakers Wall-mounting the front and surround speakers You can mount the front or surround speakers on a wall as follows. The front speakers can be mounted vertically or horizontally. 1 Install screws into a solid wall or wall support as shown below. Use 3.5 to 4 mm (1/8") diameter self-tapping screws. 2 Hang each speaker by its keyhole slots onto the protruding screws. Note • Make sure the shaft of the screw is seated in the narrow part of the keyhole slot. Otherwise, the speaker may fall. ■ Front speakers Warnings • Each front speaker weighs 1.0 kg (2.2 lbs.) and each surround speaker weighs 0.45 kg (1 lbs.). Do not mount the speakers on thin plywood or on a wall with a soft surface material. Otherwise, the screws may pull out of the surface and the speakers may fall, possibly damaging the speakers or causing personal injury. • Do not affix the speakers to a wall using nails, adhesives, or unstable hardware. Long-term use and vibration may cause the speakers to fall. • To avoid accidents resulting from tripping over loose speaker cables, affix the cables to the wall. • Mount the speakers in a wall location that will be unlikely to result in injury to an individual’s head. ■ Surround speakers 3 En English Connecting the speakers Caution: Make sure the power cables for the subwoofer and your other AV components are disconnected from the AC wall outlets before making any connections.

You need five cables. 2 Remove about 10 mm (3/8") of insulation from the end of each speaker wire. 3 Twist the bare wires tightly. 10 mm (3/8' Good No Good Notes • Make the speaker cables as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up excess cable. • Twist the bare wires tightly so the individual strands are not splayed. • Be careful not to injure yourself while preparing the speaker cables. ■ Operating the speaker terminals Negative (-) Positive (+) Note: Make sure the terminal is gripping the bare wire, not the insulation. ■ Connecting the speakers Connect each speaker to the appropriate speaker terminals on your amplifier by using the cables you prepared earli...
