CAUTION
• If you connect speakers other than the supplied ones, use speakers of the same speaker impedance (SPEAKER IMPEDANCE)
indicated on the rear of the center unit.
• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to one speaker terminal.
• When installing the satellite speakers on the wall;
– Be sure to have them installed on the wall by qualified personnel.
DO NOT install the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to avoid unexpected damage from falling off the wall due to
incorrect installation or weakness in wall structure.
– Care must be taken in selecting a location for speaker installation on a wall. Injury to personnel or damage to equipment may
result if the speakers installed interfere with daily activities.
Precautions for daily use
• When moving the speakers, do not pull the speaker cords; otherwise, the speakers may fall over, causing damage or injury.
• Do not reproduce sounds at so high a volume that the sound is distorted; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by
internal heat buildup.

If your speakers cannot be placed at the same distance from the listening position
You can adjust the delay time of the speakers. See “Delay menu (DELAY)” on page 30.
NOTE
• Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.
• The subwoofer, front and center speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed
properly, they may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing the speakers.
– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then
wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power switch again.
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.
• The surround speakers are not magnetically shielded.
If they are located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably cause color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the
speakers nearby the TV or monitor.
