Caution
This unit is to be us ed only as indicated in these ins tructions . F ailure to do so may lead to damage to the
amplifier and/or the speak ers, and may res ult in the risk of fire. C onsult a qualified s ervic e person if damage
has occurred or if you experienc e a sudden change in performanc e.
Do not attem pt to attac h thes e speakers to a wall using m ethods other than those des cribed in this m anual.
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 whic h the speak ers are to be attac hed should be c apable of supporting 33 kg (72.8 lbs) per screw.
Consultation with a qualified ins tallation spec ialist is rec ommended when attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper attac hment
may result in damage to the wall and s peakers , and personal injury.
When placing the speakers in front of the TV
The speak ers may bloc k or interfere w ith the TV s various sens ors (C.A.T.S. (Contras t Automatic Tracking Sy stem) sensor,
remote control sensor, etc.) and the 3D Ey ew ear transmitters on a 3D compatible TV.
If the stands are being used
Change the height of the stands and/or mov e the speak ers further away from the TV. If the TV still does not func tion correctly,
try removing the stands.
If the stands are not used
Move the speakers further away from the TV. If the TV s till 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 ac tive subwoofer within a few meters of the main unit and in a horiz ontal position with the top panel fac ed upward.
Do not use this unit in a metal cabinet.
Placing the activ e subwoofer too c lose to the walls and corners c an result in excess ive bass . C over w alls and windows with
thick curtains.
If irregular c oloring occurs on your TV, turn the T V off for about 30 minutes. If it pers is ts, move the speakers further away fr om
the TV.
Keep magnetiz ed items away. Magnetized cards , watc hes, etc., c an be damaged if placed too close to the ac tive 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 c oncerning the appropriate procedure when attac hing to a concrete wall or a
surface that may not hav e strong enough s upport is recommended ( 12, 15). Improper attac hment m ay res ult in damage to
the wall and speakers, and pers onal injury.
Use a c ord 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 dam age and harm, but it does not guarantee this effect.
Keep the sc rews out of reach of c hildren to prevent swallowing.
Make sure that the slac k of the cord is minimal.
