Important Safety Information Hitachi HS-HSM 1E/BS CAUTION!PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE CONNECTING YOUR LOUDSPEAKERS When making any connections, always disconnect all system components from the mains. To reduce risk of electric shock, do not expose the loudspeakers to rain or moisture. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Unplug the sub woofer from the mains before cleaning. Ensure all the loudspeakers are mounted on a solid stand or wall bracket specially designed for this application. Ensure that there is adequate space for ventilation around the sub-woofer amplifier panel. Do not dispose of the packing materials for your loudspeakers as you may wish to transport them at some future date. Correct packing will ensure that they can be shipped safely. Hitachi loudspeakers are compliant to EN60065 and bear the CE mark. Positioning your loudspeakers Place the loudspeakers as shown in diagram 1. The front satellites should be placed at ear level, while the rear satellites should be placed 0. 5m higher. The centre channel may be placed on top of the television or on a shelf in the console below. If the centre channel is placed on top of the television, ensure that the television cabinet can stand the weight. The position of the subwoofer will affect the level of bass response. For increased bass place the subwoofer against a wall or in a corner. [. . . ] Set the AV receiver to stereo mode and play music with a broad band of frequencies. Adjust the volume control on the sub-woofer until the bass effect is apparent without drawing attention to the sub woofer. After adjusting the sub woofer, switch your AV receiver to surround sound and continue the setup as per your AV Receiver instruction manual.
