Preventing the speakers from falling
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.
String (not included) Thread from the wall to the speaker and tie tightly.

Positioning

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. [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. [PT865]: Using Auto speaker setup ( 33) is a convenient way to get the ideal surround sound from your speakers when you are unable to place them. Subwoofer Front speakers Center speaker
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. Main unit Digital transmitter
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.

Surround speakers

[PT565] [PT865]
Wireless system Place the wireless system within approximately 10 m from the main unit.
Do not use the wireless system or the digital transmitter in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.
To avoid interference, maintain the following distances between the wireless system and other electronic devices that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band). Wireless system Wireless LAN: approx. 2 m Cordless phone and other electronic devices: approx. 2 m
The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, the wireless link indicator ( [W1] ) flashes on the main unit, and there is a brief interruption in audio coming from the surround speakers. This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best possible performance of your home theater system. If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location outside the range of the wireless system or move the wireless system nearer to the main unit.
