Unlike the front and centre speakers, the rear speakers are used to handle
sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.

! CAUTION
` Do not let children play with or near the speakers. They could get hurt if the speaker falls.
` When connecting the speaker wires to the speakers, make sure that the polarity (+/­–) is correct.
` Keep the subwoofer out of the reach of children so as to prevent them from inserting their hands or alien
substances into the duct (hole) of the subwoofer.
` Do not hang the subwoofer on the wall through the duct (hole).

✎ NOTE
` If you place a speaker near your TV set, screen colour may be distorted because of the magnetic field
generated by the speaker. If this occurs, place the speaker away from your TV set.
