Before Using the Home Cinema
Package
Using the Rubber Stoppers for a More Stable
Platform
We recommend using the supplied rubber stoppers to
achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The
rubber stoppers prevent the speakers from moving,
providing a more stable platform.

Using the Floor Pads for Subwoofer
If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor (wood, vinyl,
tile, etc.) and playback is very loud, the subwoofer's feet
may damage the flooring. To prevent this, place the
supplied pads underneath the subwoofer's feet. The pads
also provide a stable base for the subwoofer.
Setting the Subwoofer Level
To set the level of the subwoofer, use the
OUTPUT LEVEL control. Set it so that bass
sounds are evenly balanced with the treble
sounds from the other speakers. Because our
ears are less sensitive to very low bass
sounds, there's a temptation to set the level of the
subwoofer too high. As a rule of thumb, set the subwoofer
level to what you think is the optimal level, and then back
25 mm
it off slightly.

Tip
• If the center speaker is tilted, loosen the screw on the
declined side to move upward so that the speaker could
be adjusted vertically.
Caution
• A mounting screw's ability to support a
speaker depends on how well it's
anchored to the wall. If you have
hollow walls, screw each mounting
screw into a stud. If there are no studs,
or the walls are solid, use suitable wall
anchors. Use screws with a head
diameter of 9 mm or less and a shank diameter of 4 mm
or less. With hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to
check for any power cables or water pipes before making
any holes.
• Leave a gap of between 5 mm and 10 mm between the
wall and the base of the screw head, as shown (We
recommend that you consult a home installation
professional).
