Simple setup
Positioning
Front speakers
Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right channel
orientation is necessary.
Center speaker
•
Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it
is placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a rack
or shelf.
•
To prevent the speakers from falling, do not place directly on top of
the television.
Subwoofer(s)
VK92D
VK82D
Place to the right and left (
VK92D
) or right (
VK82D
) of the television,
on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it won’t cause vibration.
Leave 10 cm at the rear for ventilation.
Use only supplied speakers
•
Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will
be negatively affected.
•
Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from
falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from
falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.
Notes on speaker use
•
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,
microphone(s) (except
Australia and N.Z. ), noise from FM
broadcasts, 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 television
The front and center speakers and subwoofer(s) are designed to
be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected
with some televisions and set-up combinations.
If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.
The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the
problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the
television.
Note
•
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for
proper ventilation.
•
You cannot take the front net off the speakers.

•
The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached
should be capable of supporting 10 kg per screw. Consult a
qualified building contractor when attaching the speakers
to a wall. Improper attachment may result in damage to the
wall and speakers.
Caution
•
Use the speakers only with the recommended system.
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.

Positioning for best effect
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 a thick curtain.
•
The angles in the diagram are approximate.
