(See figure 7 on page 7.) 1 Remove the battery compartment cover. (Slide the cover in the direction of the arrow.) 2 Aim (within the range of 60° with no obstacles) the remote control transmitter at the remote control sensor and operate as shown. Insert 2 “AA” size batteries (UM/SUM-3, R6, HP-7 or equivalent) into the battery compartment.
This system is designed to provide the best sound-field quality with a 5 speaker configuration: front speakers, rear speakers and a center speaker. You may omit the center speaker, if for some reason it is not practical to use a center speaker. (Refer to the “4Speaker Configuration” shown below.) The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.).
SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS ■ Mounting the rear speakers 1 Mount the rear speakers on a shelf, rack or on the floor directly, or hang them on the wall. To mount the rear speakers on a wall 1 Attach the provided mounting bracket to the rear of the speaker by using the provided screws. 2 Fasten screws into a firm wall or wall support as shown in the diagram, and hang the holes of the mounting bracket on the protruding screws.
■ Mounting the center speaker Place the speaker on top of the TV or on the floor under the TV or inside the TV rack so that it is stabilized. When placing the speaker on top of the TV, to prevent the speaker from falling down, put the provided pads at four points on bottom of the speaker. Notes • Do not place the speaker on top of the TV whose area is smaller than the bottom area of the speaker. If placed, the speaker may drop out causing an injury to you.
