Cover walls and windows withthick curtains.If irregular coloring occurs on your TV, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes. If it persists, move the speakers further away fromthe TV.Keep magnetized items away. Magnetized cards, watches, etc., can be damaged if placed too close to the active subwooferand the speakers.CautionTh is unit is to be used only as indicated in these instructions. Failure to do so may lead to damage to theamplifier and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified service person if damagehas occurred or if you experience a sudden change in performance.Do not attempt to attach these speakers to a wall using methods other than those described in this manual.The speaker systemWhen attaching the speakers to a wallThe wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 33 kg (72.8 lbs) per screw.Consultation with a qualified installation specialist is recommended when attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper attachmentmay result in damage to the wall and speakers, and personal injury.When placing the speakers in front of the TVThe speakers may block or interfere with the TVs various sensors (C.A.T.S. (Contrast Automatic Tracking System) sensor,remote control sensor, etc.) and the 3D Eyewear transmitters on a 3D compatible TV.If the stands are being usedChange the height of the stands and/or move the speakers further away from the TV. If the TV still does not function correctly,try removing the stands.If the stands are not usedMove the speakers further away from the TV.

20 R QT 97 77To prevent the speakers from falling, it is recommended, as an additionalprotection measure, to attach the speakers to the wall or table with a fallprevention cord (hereafter cord).Consultation with a qualified installation specialist concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or asurface that may not have strong enough support is recommended ( 12, 15). Improper attachment may resu lt in damage tothe wall and speakers, and personal injury.Use a cord that is capable of supporting over 10 k g (22.05 lbs) (with a diameter of about 1.5 mm (1/16 )).The safety holder is to minimize the possibility of damage and harm, but it does not guarantee this effect.Keep the screws out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.Make sure that the slack of the cord is minimal.Additional speaker fall prevention measuresWhen attaching the speakers to a wallCord Screw eye Wall Wall-mountedspeakers If the cord cannot be threaded through the holes, try bending the cord in 2 locations,about 10 mm (13/32 ) apart from the tip, at an angle of 45o (as illustrated above).Horizontal placementVertical placement
