Note the following points. 6 Subwoofer • Place speakers on flat secure bases. 4 Surround • Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can speaker (R) result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with a thick curtain. Note Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32") away from the system for proper ventilation. 3 Surround speaker (L) Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are approximate. Front speakers (left, right) Place on the left and right of the TV at seated ear height so that there is good coherency between the picture and sound. Center speaker Place underneath or above the center of the TV. Aim the speaker at the seating area. Surround speakers (left, right) Place on the side of or slightly behind the seating area, higher than ear level. Subwoofer The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a reasonable distance from the TV. Note that some experimentation can yield the smoothest low frequency performance. Placement near a corner can increase the apparent output level, but can result in unnatural bass. RQTV0105 If irregular coloring occurs on your television The supplied 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 television's demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television. 4 Caution • The main unit and supplied speakers are only to be used as indicated in this manual. Failure to do so may lead to damage to the receiver and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk or 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.
