Alternate placement for surround speakers in SCS200.5 system only.

Surround back speaker is used only in SCS200.6 system.

The front speakers should be placed the same distance from each other as they are from the listening position. They should be placed at about the same height from the floor as the listeners’ ears will be, or they may be angled toward the listeners.

The center channel speaker should be placed slightly behind the front left and right speakers, and no more than two feet above or below the tweeters of the left and right speakers. It is often con- venient to set the center speaker on top of the tele- vision set, as shown in the drawing.

Two of the surround speak- ers should be placed slightly behind the listening position and, ideally, should face each other and be at a level

higher than the listeners’ ears. If that is not possible, they may be placed on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround back speaker (SCS200.6 sys- tem only) should be placed on the wall behind the listen- ing position, facing the cen- ter channel speaker. The sur- round speakers should not call attention to themselves. Experiment with their place- ment until you hear a diffuse, ambient sound accom- panying the main program material heard in the front speakers.

It is neither necessary nor desirable to tilt the surround speakers to aim them down toward the listening area. They should be aimed straight ahead to produce the proper effect.

The low-frequency material reproduced by the sub- woofer is mostly omnidirec- tional, and this speaker may be placed in a convenient location in the room. How- ever, bass reproduction will be maximized when the sub- woofer is placed in a corner along the same wall as the front speakers. Experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer in the listening position and moving around the room until the bass reproduction is best. Place the subwoofer in that loca- tion.
