•Setting Center Speaker

If the distance of Dc is equal to or longer than the distance of Df in the figure, set the mode as 0ms. Otherwise, change the setting according to the table on the table.

•Setting Rear Speakers

If the distance of Df is equal to the distance of Ds in the figure, set the mode as 0ms.

Otherwise, change the setting according to the table.

Speaker Setting Methods

Front Speakers

Set the front speakers so that their tweeters (high-range) are aligned at about ear level and at a horizontal angle of 45° to the prime listening position.

Center Speaker

Ideally the center speaker should be positioned with its top surface flush with the front speakers. However, you may place the speaker either on top or near the bottom of your TV set.

Rear Speakers

Set the rear speakers further back parallel to the walls, at 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above prime listening position ear level.

If the space behind the listening position is insufficient (i.e., too close to the wall), place the rear speakers facing each other on either side.

Subwoofer Speaker

Place the subwoofer at any convenient location within the vicinity of the listening position.
