1. Left, Right (Front Speakers)
Front speakers carry primarily music and sound
effects.
2. Center
In surround mode, the center speaker carries
most of the dialog as well as music and effects. It
should be set between the left and right speakers.
3. Surround (Rear Speakers)
The rear speakers’ overall sound balance should
be as close as possible to the front speakers.
Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly
distributed sound fi eld.
Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful
low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of
spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heighten the
action on the screen.
Magnetic shielding
Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV
set must be magnetically shielded in order to
prevent picture distortion. Front, Center and Rear
speakers provided with this unit are magnetically
shielded to protect your TV set.
Note:
Place the subwoofer a foot or more away from TV
when using the Front Surround sound Effect. (FSsE).

Front speaker placement
Follow the suggestions for speaker placement
below to get the best results.
Alignment
Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or
slightly behind (B) (the left and right speakers),
but not ahead of them.
Angle
Place the left and right speakers to form a 45-
degree angle with your favorite viewing position
to duplicate the soundtrack mixer’s perspective.
Height
The mid- and high-frequency drivers of the three front
speakers should be as close as possible to
the same height. This often requires placing the center
speaker directly on top (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.
Preferred surround placement
Location
If possible, place sur- round speakers to either side of the
listening area, not behind it.
Height
If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet above
viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects.
