Getting Started Quick Start Guide Getting Started step 1 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. ≥ For optional wall mount, refer to page 23. [Note] Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32z) 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 Front speakers Center speaker 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 (1113/16z) from the TV. 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 To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the main unit, position it with at least 5 cm (2z) of space on all sides. Surround speakers 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 persists, 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 DO NOT DO RQTX0217 5
