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,

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 over 10 k8 (22 Ibs) [_ 15 kg (33 Ibs) for the front speakers] 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.
• When mounting the front speakers to a wall, we recommend using a string (not included) to prevent it from falling.

Positioning the speakers
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points: t 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,
• Left and right speakers are interchangeable, but front and surround speakers are not.
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.

• Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be negatively affected.
• Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from falling.
Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface,
Main unit
• Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (WW') away from the system for proper ventilation.
• 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,
• Do not block the ventilation holes of the main unit,
Center speaker
• Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the television.
Put the center speaker on a rack or shelf.
• To prevent the speakers from falling, do not place directly on top of the television.
Subwoofer
Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration.
Leave about 30 cm (11W_d') from the television.
Caution
• Do not stand on the base.
Be cautious when children are near.

Notes
on speaker use
• You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play sound at high levels ever 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
television
The front and center 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 demagnetizing function of the television should correct the problem.
If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.
• Do not touch the netted area of the speakers, e.g. _
II/_
Surround speaker
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 resutt 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.
Speaker connections
• Ensure the AC cord is disconnected
before you
make the speaker connections.

CPPM (Content
Protection for Prerecorded Media)
A copy protection system used for DVD-Audio files. This unit supports
CPPM
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 multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.
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 television 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) from the HDMI AV OUT terminal. To enjoy highdefinition video, a high-definition compatible television 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.
If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the data will be compressed to 1/10-1/100 of its original size. The benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree of compression.
Linear POM (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,
Prog ressive/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.
WMA
(Windows Media TM Audio)
WMA is a compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation.
It achieves the same sound quality as MP3 with a file size that is smaller than that of MP3.
