Using the XW-DV515 digital wireless speaker system
The XW-DV515 wireless speaker system can be used for multi-channel sound with your main setup, or as a second stereo speaker system.
Important notes and safety precautions
Using the remote control
The remote control can be used within a range of about 7 meters from the remote sensor on the front panel, and within a 30 degree angle.

� The remote control may not work if there is an obstacle between the remote control and the display unit, or if the remote control is not directed towards the remote sensor of the display unit at the correct angle. � The remote control may not work properly if strong light such as direct sunlight or fluorescent light is shining onto the unit�s remote sensor. � The remote control may not work properly when this unit is used near devices emitting infrared rays, or when remote controls of other devices which use infrared rays are used. Also, the use of this remote control may cause other devices to work improperly. � When the operating range of the remote becomes too short, replace the batteries.

Incorrect use of batteries may cause leakage or rupture. Always be sure to follow these guidelines: � Always insert batteries into the battery compartment correctly matching the positive ª and negative · polarities, as shown by the display inside the compartment. � Never mix new and used batteries. � Batteries of the same size may have different voltages, depending on brand. Do not mix different brands of batteries. � When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public instruction's rules that apply in your country or area. � In order to prevent battery leakage, remove the batteries when not using the remote control for an extended period (one month or more). If leakage occurs, carefully wipe away any battery fluid inside the compartment, and replace the batteries with new ones. � Do not allow books or other objects to rest on top of the remote control, since the buttons may be depressed, causing faster exhaustion of the batteries.

Additional notes on connecting antennas
� Keep antenna cables away from other cables and the display unit and main set. � To assure optimum reception, pull the FM antenna so that it is fully extended and not coiled or hanging at the rear of the unit. � If reception with the supplied antenna is poor, see the Other Connections section in the main operating instructions for details on connecting outdoor antennas.

Place speakers as shown in step 4 to achieve the optimum surround sound effect � Install the main front left and right speakers at an equal distance from the TV. � For optimum effect, install the rear speakers slightly above ear level. � This system's speakers are magnetically shielded, so there's virtually no picture color distortion when they are placed near a TV. In the rare event that there is some picture color interference, switch power to the TV off, and wait 15 to 30 minutes before switching on again. � Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen. � When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker. � Do not connect the supplied speakers with any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.

9 CHANNEL (AUTO ON/OFF) button
The default setting is AUTO, where the channel is automatically set to the same one selected on the transmitter. If you find that the reception is weak, try switching to AUTO OFF. This 'locks' the signal and can result in better reception. Press and hold for about 5 seconds to switch between AUTO and AUTO OFF.

Additional notes on wireless speaker placement
� Depending on your room characteristics, there will be places where you will achieve better reception from the transmitter. If you are experiencing bad reception, try moving the speaker slightly. If the problem persists, try locating the best frequency channel with the two units quite close together, then moving them further away once you have switched to AUTO OFF.

Caution
� Make sure to stop/turn off the source and switch off the wireless speaker when switching speaker systems. The wireless speaker will output the source at very loud volumes if the wireless speaker is set to SURROUND and the main unit is set to W.Stereo (STEREO). In this case, the volume control has no effect, so please follow these precautions. � Even when not in use, the fan in the wireless speaker will continue to operate. Switching off the wireless speaker when not in use will increase product life.

Placing the wireless speaker
For best surround sound, make sure to place the wireless speaker directly behind the center of the listening position and no higher than ear level. Also, make sure you don't move the wireless speaker too far behind the listening position or you will lose much of the surround sound effect. For a greater surround sound effect from the wireless speaker, see Setting the channel levels on page 59 (XV-DV515) to increase the surround channel levels.

� When you select SURROUND (on both units), you won�t be able to hear anything through the speakers connected to the surround left and right speaker terminals. The signals are sent to the wireless speakers instead.

For the best surround sound, setup your speakers as above. The front left and right speakers should be about 1.8�2.7 m apart.
