Automatic setup
When you set up the home theater for the first
time, the setup menu prompts you to calibrate
your speakers for the best surround sound. If you
move your speakers or change the layout of the
room, calibrate the speakers again to continue
getting the best sound.
Place the calibration microphone as close to the
seating position as possible, at ear height.
Before you start, check that:
•
The calibration microphone is less than 5
meters (16 feet) from each of the speakers.
If it is more, set up your speakers manually
(see ‘Manual setup’ on page 13);
•
There is nothing between the speakers and
the microphone to block the sound, and
•
The room is quiet. For example, switch off
your TV or radio, close doors and windows,
and switch off your air conditioning.
1
Connect the calibration microphone to the
MUSIC iLINK
connector on your home
theater.
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, and then set up
your speakers.
1
Seating position:
This is the center of your listening area.
2
FRONT CENTER
(front center) speaker:
Place the center speaker directly in front of
the seating position, either above or below
your TV. Make sure that it is close to your
ear height when you are seated.
3
FRONT LEFT
(front left) and
FRONT
RIGHT
(front right) speakers:
Place the left and right speakers in the front,
and equidistant from the center speaker in
an arc, so that all the three speakers are at
same distance from your seating position.
For best effect, point the speakers towards
the seating position and place the speakers
close to the ear level (when seated).
4
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. For
best effect, point the speakers towards the
seating position and place the speakers just
above the ear level (when seated).
5
SUBWOOFER
(subwoofer):
Place the subwoofer at least one meter to
the left or right of the TV. Leave about ten
centimeter clearance from the wall.
Connect
Connect your speakers and the subwoofer to
your home theater as described in the quick
start guide.
Calibrate
You can set up the speakers automatically by
using a calibration microphone, or manually
through the speaker setup menu.
