Getting Started 1: Installing the speakers This system allows you to use a 5.1 channel speaker system. To fully enjoy theatre-like multi channel surround sound, be sure to connect all the speakers (two front speakers, a center speaker and two surround speakers) and a subwoofer (5.1 channel). You can place your speakers as shown below.
Tips • The angle A should be the same. 30° 100°-120° 30° A 100°-120° • Since the subwoofer does not emit highly directional signals, you can place it wherever you want. However, it is recommended to place the subwoofer on the front edge of a table or rack, etc., to accept the remote signal correctly. The front speakers of HT-AF5 is provided with the speaker stand, you need to disassemble the speakers. Install the front speakers on the wall. Keep the speaker stand for future use.
3 Disassemble the speaker by lifting the upper part of the speaker. 5 Connect the removed speaker cord into the front speaker terminals. Upper part Rear of the speaker 6 Remove the speaker cover from the protective cover. Lower part Rear of the speaker 4 Pull out the speaker cord from the bottom of the lower part of the speaker. The removed speaker cord is used when installing the speaker on a wall. Protective cover 7 Attach the speaker cover at the bottom of the upper part of the speaker.
To install the speakers on a wall Fasten the screws to the wall. The screws should protrude 8 mm to 10 mm. HT-AF5 only For the front speakers Caution • Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially fragile, attach the screws securely to a beam and fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where reinforcement is applied. • Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the wall material or screws to be used.
