Install your player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4inches). Make sure the ventilation slots are not covered. Do not stack anything on top of the amplifier. In order to disconnect the player completely from the power supply, remove the mains plug from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.

Protect the player from moisture(i.e. vases) , and excess heat(e.g.fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i.e.speakers...). Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if the player malfunctions. Your player is not intended for industrial use. Use of this product is for personal use only. Condensation may occur if your player or disc have been stored in cold temperatures. If transporting the player during the winter, wait approximately 2 hours until the unit has reached room temperature before using.

During thunderstorms, disconnect AC main plug from the wall outlet. Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat sources. This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.

The battery used with this product contain chemicals

that are harmful to the environment.

Connecting speakers Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

Place these speakers behind your listening position. If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they

face each other. Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your

ears, facing slightly downward. Unlike the front and center speakers, the surround

speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.

Surround Speakers

SL SR

SBL SBR

Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45) toward you.

Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ears.

Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speaker.

Front Speakers

It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers. You can also install it directly over or under the TV.

Center speaker

Place AV Receiver on a dedicated stand or rack.

Position of AV Receiver

When you attach the speakers to a wall, make sure to fasten them tightly so they do not fall off.

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.

Subwoofer

If you are using two rear center speakers, place them facing forward from behind the listening position.

Place the surround back speaker about 70 cm to 1 m (2.3~3.3feet) above surround speakers, facing slightly downwards.

Surround Back Speakers SBL SBR

1 Connect the SW OUT terminal of the amplifier (AV-R720) to the INPUT terminal of the subwoofer speaker.

2 Press the POWER button on the rear side of the subwoofer to turn the power on.

3 Using the subwoofers VOLUME control, you can set the desired bass level (See page 30 "Setting Speaker Level" to set the subwoofer level in the menu).

Active subwoofer with integrated 150W amplifier provides rich bass sound.
