Keep  your speakers  at least 10  mm  (
13
/
32
")  away  from  the 
system for proper ventilation.
Note
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position.
The angles in the diagram are approximate.
Placement of speakers.
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 a 
thick curtain.
•
•
Front speakers (left, right)
Place on the left and right of the TV at seated ear height so that there is good coherency between the picture and sound.
Center speaker
Place underneath or above the center of the TV. Aim the speaker at the seating area.
Surround speakers (left, right)
Place on the side of or slightly behind the seating area, higher than ear level. 
Subwoofer
The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a reasonable distance from the TV.
Note that some experimentation can yield the smoothest low frequency performance. Placement near a corner can increase the 
apparent output level, but can result in unnatural bass.
Caution
The  main unit  and  supplied  speakers  are only  to  be 
used as indicated in this manual. Failure to do so may 
lead to damage to the receiver and/or the speakers, and 
may result in the risk or 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.

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 further away from the 
television.
