4  Connect and set 

up

This section helps you connect your home 

theater to a TV and other devices, and then set 

it up. 

For information about the basic connections 

of your home theater and accessories, see the 

quick start guide. 

Note

 

For identification and supply ratings, see the type plate 

at the back or bottom of the product.

 

Before you make or change any connections, make sure 

that all devices are disconnected from the power outlet.

Connect speakers

The speaker cables are color-coded for easy 

connection. To connect a speaker to your home 

theater, match the color on the speaker cable to 

the color on the connector.

 

Speaker position plays a critical role in setting 

up a surround sound effect. For best effect, 

position all the speakers towards the seating 

position and place them close to your ear level 

(seated). 

  

Note

 

Surround sound depends on factors such as room 

shape and size, type of wall and ceiling, windows and 

reflective surfaces, and speaker acoustics. Experiment 

with the speaker positions to find the optimum setting 

for you.

Follow these general guidelines for speakers 

placement.

Seating position:

This is the center of your listening area.

FRONT CENTER

 (front center) speaker:

Place the center speaker directly in front of 

the seating position, either above or below 

your TV.

FRONT LEFT

 (front left) and 

FRONT 

RIGHT

 (front right) speakers:

Place the left and right speakers in the 

front, and at equal distance from the center 

speaker. Make sure that the left, right, and 

the center speakers are at equal distance 

from your seating position. 

REAR LEFT

 (rear left) and 

REAR RIGHT

 

(rear right) speakers: 

Place the rear surround speakers to the 

left and right side of your seating position, 

either in line with it or slightly behind it.
