•Preventing the speakers from falling
• You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.
• Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that may not have
strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.

_Positioning
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 thick curtains.
m
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (W32") away from the system for
proper ventilation.
Setup example
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the
same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are
approximate.
Subwoofer
Place to the right or left
of the TV, on the floor
or a sturdy shelf so
that it will not cause
vibration. Leave about
30 cm (11W_d') from
the TV.
speakers
Center speaker
Put on a rack or shelf.
Vibration caused by the
speaker can disrupt the
picture if it is placed directly
on the TV.
Main unit Digital transmitter
To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain
good airflow around the main unit, position it with
at least 5 cm (2") of space on all sides.
Wireless system
Place the wireless system within
approximately 10 m (33 ft) from
the main unit.
Do not use the wireless system or
the digital transmitter in a metal
cabinet or bookshelf.
e.g. I_"_
Surround speakers
120o qb
The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these
other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, the
wireless link indicator (" _ ") flashes on the main unit, and there is a brief
interruption in audio coming from the surround speakers.
This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best
possible performance of your home theater system.
If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location
outside the range of the wireless system or move the wireless system
nearer to the main unit.
Notes on speaker use
=Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be
negatively affected.
• You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play
sound at high levels over extended periods.
• Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage:
-When playing distorted sound.
-When the speakers are reverberating due to a record player, noise
from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an oscillator, test
disc, or electronic instrument.
-When adjusting the sound quality.
-When turning the unit on or off.
If irregular coloring occurs on your TV
The center speaker is designed to be used close to a TV, but the picture
may be affected with some TVs and setup combinations.
If this occurs, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes,
The demagnetizing function of the TV should correct the problem. If it
3ersists, move the speakers further away from the TV.
Caution
•The main unit and supplied speakers are to be
used only as indicated in this setup, Failure to
do so may lead to damage to the amplifier and/
or the speakers, and may result in the risk of
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,
Caution
• Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.
e.g. Center speaker

•Attaching to a wall
You can attach all of the speakers (except subwoofer) to a wall.
• The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached
should be capable of supporting 10 kg (22 Ibs) per screw.
Consult a qualified building contractor when attaching the
speakers to a wall. Improper attachment may result in damage to
the wall and speakers.

Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is
called decoding.
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also
be 5.1-channel sound.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world.
There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects
are possible.
Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that
can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of
sound before distortion occurs.
Frame still and field still
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture.
There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular TV shows these fields one
after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up
of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall
quality is high.
A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still
so picture quality is lower.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic
products. Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed
digital video and audio signals on a single cable. This unit supports high-
definition video output (720p, 1080i, 1080p) from the HDMI AV OUT
terminal. To enjoy high-definition video, a high-definition compatible TV is
required.
I/P/B
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with
DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.
I: Intra coded picture
This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting
the picture.
P: Predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated based on past I- or P-pictures.
B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I- and
P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. The
benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the
degree of compression.
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately
one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of audio quality.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and
information with menus.
Progressive/Interlaced
NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines,
whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This
is called 480p.
Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video
recorded on media such as DVD-Video.
Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.
Sampling frequency
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog
signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding).
Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger
numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.
