PLACING SPEAKERS

1 Place the Front Left and Right speakers at equal dis- tances from the TV. Turn the speakers to an approximate 45 degree angle from the listening position.

2 Place the Center speaker above (or below) the TV to localize the center channel sound.

3 Place the Surround speakers at normal listening ear level, facing each other or mounted on the wall.

4 Place the Subwoofer on the floor near the TV.

NOTES:

To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the Front speakers too close to your TV.

If the Rear Surround speakers are installed farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers, it will weaken the Surround effect.

All speakers should be securely installed to prevent acci- dents and improve sound quality.
