• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the unit itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the system from the wall outlet if it is not to be
used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the
cord, pull the cord by grasping the plug. Never pull
the cord itself.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the system,
unplug the system’s power cord and have the system
checked by qualified personnel before operating it any
further.
• Make sure the plus (+) and the minus (–) terminals on
the speakers are matched to the corresponding plus (+)
and minus (–) terminals on the amplifier.
• Be sure to tighten the screws of the speaker terminals
securely as loose screws may become a source of noise.
• Make sure all connections are firm. Contact between
bare speaker wires at the speaker terminals may cause
a short-circuit.

• Some amplifier functions for enhancing the sound may
cause distortion in the subwoofer. If such distortion
occurs, turn off those functions.
• To enjoy high-quality sound, do not turn the
subwoofer volume too high.
• The bass sound is enhanced in MOVIE mode rather
than in MUSIC mode. Therefore, if you change the
mode to MOVIE while listening to some sources that
do not include the bass sound, you may not be able to
get the effect.

Each speaker should face the listening position. Better
surround effect will result if all speakers are set at the
same distance from the listening position.
Place the front speakers at a suitable distance to the left
and right of the television.
Place the subwoofer on either side of the television.
Place the center speaker on the top-center of the TV set.
The placement of surround speakers greatly depends on
the configuration of the room. The surround speakers
may be placed on both sides of the listening position A
or behind the listening position B.
Listening to the sound (I)
There is no sound from the speaker system.
•Make sure all the connections have been
correctly made.
•Make sure the volume on the amplifier has
