Simple setup
STEP
Preparation
To prevent damage or scratches, lay down a soft cloth and perform assembly on it.
For assembly, use a Phillips-head screwdriver.
Make sure you have all the indicated components before starting assembly, setup, and connection.
There is no difference between the right and left speakers and pipes.

To prevent the speaker from falling over, thread the string (not
included) from the wall to the speaker as shown and tie tightly.
Preparation
Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to the wall
( diagram right).
You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the
walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.
Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the
appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a
surface that may not have strong enough support. Improper
attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.
STEP
Positioning
Wall
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 thick curtains.
The left and right speakers are the same with respect to the front and surround speaker pairs.
FRONT (L, R)
SURROUND (L, R)

SUBWOOFER
Setup example
7969en-p03-26.fm
Main unit
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at
approximately the same distance from the seating position.
The angles in the diagram are approximate.
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.
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,
noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an
oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.
When adjusting the sound quality.
When turning the unit on or off.
Main unit
[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) away from the system
for proper ventilation.
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
Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy
shelf so that it wont cause vibration. Leave 10 cm (4q) at the rear
for ventilation.
Caution
Do not stand on the base and shake
the speaker. Be cautious when children
are near.
Caution
The main unit and supplied speakers are to
be used only as indicated in this setup.
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.

Tips for making WMA/MP3 and JPEG discs (For CD-R, CD-RW)
Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended
formats).
This unit supports multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it
takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a
minimum to avoid this.
When there are more than 8 groups, the eighth group onwards will
be displayed on one vertical line in the menu screen.
There may be differences in the display order on the menu screen
and computer screen.
This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.
Naming folders and files
e.g. [MP3]
(Files are treated as content and folders root
are treated as groups on this unit.)
001 group
At the time of recording, prefix folder and
001
file names with 3-digit numbers in the
001 track.mp3
002 track.mp3
order you want to play them (this may not
003 track.mp3
work at times).
002 group
Files must have the extension:
.WMA or .wma
001 track.mp3
002 track.mp3
.MP3 or .mp3
003 group
003 track.mp3
.JPG, .jpg, .JPEG or .jpeg
004 track.mp3
001 track.mp3
002 track.mp3

Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal.
This is called decoding.
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can
also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can
be recorded on one disc using this method.
Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound
that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest
level of sound before distortion occurs.
I/P/B
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with
DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.
I: Intra coded picture
This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when
adjusting the picture.
P: Predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.
B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and
P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Listening caution
EST. 1924
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit youve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now its time to consider
how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associations
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come
through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortionand, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing comfort level adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds normal can actually be
loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
Start your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
