Leave more than 20 cm (8 inches) memo • If installing the rear speakers far away from the front and center speakers, surround effects cannot be fully achieved. • Installing speakers near the TV may cause interference such as the TV color to change. In such cases, use magnetically shielded speakers or install the speakers away from the TV. • Install the left and right speakers at equal distance from the TV. • Install the center speaker at the top, bottom, or behind the TV so that TV sound and images match. • It is recommended to install the rear speakers slightly above ear level. Installing speakers To achieve the best surround effects, install speakers as shown in the following figure. Installation Example R,I Fi F,r R,r 4=7- 0 SW 0 Installing a cassette deck The cassette deck may produce noise when played back depending on the place of installation. The noise is due to the effects of leakage flux caused by the transformer of the receiver. In such cases, change the place of installation or install it away from the receiver.
