Precautions for installation  
• Do not install the speakers on an uneven surface or in a  
place subject to vibration; otherwise, they may fall over,  
causing damage or injury.  
Take the occurrence of earthquakes or other  
physical shocks into consideration when  
selecting the installation place, and secure  
the speakers thoroughly.  
Screws  
M5 x 12 mm (M5 x 1/2 in.) (4)  
M4 x 25 mm (M4 x 1 in.) (12)  
To prevent deformation or discoloration of the  
cabinet, do not install the speakers where they  
are exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity,  
and avoid installation near air conditioning  
outlets.  
Washers  
(4)  
If any of the items above are missing, contact your dealer  
immediately.  
• Speaker vibrations may cause howling. Place  
the speakers as far away from the player as  
possible.  
Speaker and Speaker cords—  
to improve the sound quality  
• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color  
distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, it may  
cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following  
when installing the speakers.  
– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s  
main power switch or unplug it before installing the  
speakers.  
About DD (Direct Drive) speaker  
DD (Direct Drive) technology improves sound localization  
and transmits the powerful sounds.  
About the OFC cord  
The core wires of the supplied speaker cords are made of  
OFC (Oxygen Free Copper). This OFC cord enables high  
quality sound reproduction.  
Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s  
main power switch again.  
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have  
followed the above. If this happens, move the speakers  
further away from the TV.  
When connecting the speaker cords  
Make sure to match the polarity (ª and ·); otherwise, the  
sound will lose the surround effect.  
After connecting, check that the exposed cores are fully  
inserted into the terminal.  
• Tuner reception may become noisy or hissing if a speaker is  
installed near the tuner. In this case, leave more distance  
between the tuner and the speakers or use an outdoor antenna  
for better tuner reception without interference from the speakers.  
When using other speaker cords  
Observe the following;  
Precautions for Daily Use  
• Buy thick speaker cords rather than thin cords, and make  
them as short as possible for connection.  
• Use speaker cords of the same length for both left and  
right speakers.  
• Do not use long speaker cords; otherwise, the sound  
quality may deteriorate.  
• To maintain the appearance of the speakers  
Wipe with a dry, soft cloth if the cabinet or control panel  
should become dirty.  
If very dirty, apply a small amount of water or neutral detergent  
to the cloth and wipe clean, then wipe with a dry cloth.  
• To improve the sound field  
If the speakers are facing a solid wall or glass  
door, etc., it is recommended to furnish the wall  
with materials that absorb sounds, for example  
by hanging up thick curtains, to prevent  
reflections and standing waves.  
Speaker  
grille  
• To use the speakers without any trouble  
– Do not reproduce sounds at so high a volume that they are  
distorted; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by  
internal heat buildup.  
Leg  
– When moving the speakers, do not pull the speaker cords;  
otherwise, the speakers may fall over, causing damage or  
injury.  
– When holding a satellite speaker, do not grasp the speaker  
(upper) portion, but always grasp the leg (lower) portion of

Additional Information  
Connecting the Center speaker  
Connecting the speaker system to the amplifier  
To connect the center speaker, use the same type of speaker  
cord (6 m (19.7 feet); tagged with FRONT SPEAKER) as  
used for connecting the front speakers.  
Before connecting—  
Turn off the power to the amplifier before connecting the  
speaker system; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.  
The impedance of each speaker is 8 . Before connecting  
them to your amplifier, check the speaker impedance range of  
your amplifier. If the impedance of this speaker is out of the  
speaker impedance range indicated on the amplifier, you  
cannot connect this system to the amplifier.  
The maximum power handling capacity of the SX-XD33 is  
100 W. Excessive input will result in abnormal noise and  
possible damage.  
Each speaker cord has its name tag attached to one end.  
Attach the end without the name tag to the speaker terminal.  
Insert the speaker cord into the speaker  
terminal.  
1 Press and hold the clamp.  
2 Insert the exposed core of the speaker  
cord fully into the terminal.  
Be sure to turn down the volume level to prevent unwanted  
noise before performing following operations:

may damage the speakers.  
Before replacing the cartridge, always turn off the power to the  
turntable; otherwise, the clicking noise may damage the  
speakers.

For a subwoofer to be used with SX-XD33, it is recommended  
to use SX-DW303. This combination gives you the best  
possible high quality surround sounds.  
Do not lean against the speakers, as the speakers could fall
