Getting Started

ENGLISH

Preparation

≥ To prevent damage or scratches, lay down a soft cloth to assemble speakers.

≥ For assembly, use a Phillips-head screwdriver (not included).

≥ 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.

Caution

Do not stand on the base. Be cautious when children are near.

step 1 Assembling the front speakers [PT175]

Speaker assembly option

Make sure you have all the indicated components before starting assembly, setup, and connection.

≥ Keep the screws out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.

≥ For optional wall mount, refer to page 26.

Getting Started

Quick Start Guide

ENGLISH

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.

≥ For optional wall mount, refer to page 26.

[Note]

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.

Setup example

Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are

approximate.

Notes on speaker use

≥Use only supplied speakers

Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be

negatively affected.

≥ 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.

If irregular colouring occurs on your TV

The center speaker is designed to be used close to a TV, but the picture

may be affected with some TVs and setup combinations.

If this occurs, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.

The demagnetising function of the TV should correct the problem. If it

persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.

Caution

Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.

step 2 Positioning

Subwoofer Front speakers

e.g. [PT170]

Center speaker

e.g. [PT170]

Main unit

Surround speakers

e.g. [PT170]

To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain

good airflow around the main unit, position it with

at least 5 cm of space on all sides.

Put on a rack or shelf. Vibration caused by the

speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed

directly on the TV.

Place to the right or left of the

TV, on the floor or a sturdy

shelf so that it will not cause

vibration. Leave about 30 cm

from the TV.

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.

Conserving power

The main unit consumes a small amount of power, even when it is in

standby mode (approx. 0.2 W). To save power when the unit is not to be

used for a long time, unplug it from the household mains socket.

You will need to reset some memory items after plugging in the main

unit.

[Note]

The included AC mains lead is for use with the main unit only.

Do not use it with other equipment. Also, do not use cords for other

equipment with the main unit.

Do not:

≥ mix old and new batteries.

≥ use different types of batteries at the same time.

≥ take apart or short circuit.

≥ attempt to recharge alkaline or manganese batteries.

≥ use batteries if the covering has been peeled off.

Mishandling of batteries can cause electrolyte leakage which can

severely damage the remote control.

Remove the batteries if the remote control is not going to be used for a

long period of time. Store in a cool, dark place.

Aim at the remote control signal sensor (B 35), avoiding obstacles, at a

maximum range of 7 m directly in front of the unit.
