SPEAKER POSITIONING INFORMATION

Your system is supplied with 5 compact sized satellite speakers and

one large subwoofer. The satellite speakers reproduce only the mid

range and higher frequencies. All of the low frequency (bass) sounds

are produced by the subwoofer. Proper positioning and placement

of the speakers is important in order to provide the best surround

sound experience. We understand that due to the size and shape of

your listening room, and the location of your furniture, you may not

be able to set up the speakers exactly as per the diagrams that

follow. However these simple guidelines will help you maximize your

home theater experience.

Note the speaker levels are preset at the factory and most people

will not need to fine tune the sound of each speaker. We suggest

 

you skip this part at first and go to Page 22. Later on you can fine

 

tune the sound level of each speaker. See Page 21.

Although all 5 satellites are the same size, the speakers inside the

 

cabinets are different. The speaker terminals on the back of the

 

cabinets are color coded, as are the speaker wires and the speaker

 

terminals on the back of the main unit. Refer to the connection

the colors for best results. This is especially important for the

 

center speaker.

TYPICAL SPEAKER SETUP

For best surround sound effects, all 5 of the satellite speakers should be roughly at the same distance from your usual listening position.

All 5 satellite speakers should be placed approximately the same distance from your listening position.

The center speaker should be placed directly above (or below) TV set. Left and right front speakers should be approximately at the same height as the center speaker.

The rear speakers should be either in line with, or behind listening position, approximately at ear level, or slightly above.

The subwoofer should be on the floor near the TV, or in any corner, facing your listening position.

All speakers must be visible. Do not hide them behind curtains, furniture, etc, as this will affect the sound.
