Caution
Th is unit is to be u sed only as indicated in these instructions. 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 a wall using methods other than those described in this manual.
The speaker system
Use a screwdriver ( ) for assembling the speakers.
Do not hold the speakers in one hand to avoid injury, you may drop the speakers when carrying them.
When attaching the speakers to a wall
The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supportin g 33 kg (72.8 lb s) per screw.
Consultation with a qualified installation specialist is recommended when attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper attachment
may result in damage to the wall and speakers, and personal injury.
When placing the speakers in front of the TV
The spea kers may block or interfere with the TV s various senso rs (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 used
Change 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 used
Move the speakers further away from the TV. If the TV still does not function properly, try placing them beside the TV (
9).
The active subwoofer
When carrying the active subwoofer
Do not hold the active subwoofer from this
opening.
The parts inside may get damaged.
Always hold the bottom of the active subwoofer when
moving it.
Wireless interference
To avoid interference, maintain the following distances between the main unit/active subwoofer
and other electronic devices that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).
Main unit/active subwoofer
Wireless LAN: approx. 2 m (6 1/2 ft)
Cordless phone and other electronic devices:
approx. 2 m (6 1/2 ft)
Place the active subwoofer within a few meters of the main unit and in a horizontal position with the top panel faced upward.
Do not use this unit in a metal cabinet.
Placing the active subwoofer too close to the walls and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with
thick curtains.
If irregular coloring occurs on your TV, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes. If it persists, move the speakers further away from
the TV.
Keep magnetized items away. Magnetized cards, watches, etc., can be damaged if placed too close to the active subwoofer
and the speakers.

Additional speaker fall prevention measures
To prevent the speakers from falling, it is recommended, as an additional
protection measure, to attach the speakers to the wall or table with a fall
prevention cord (hereafter cord ).
Consultation with a qualified installation specialist concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a
surface that may not have strong enough support is recommended ( 12, 15). Improper attachment may resu lt in damage to
the wall and speakers, and personal injury.
Use a cord tha t is capable of supportin g 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.
