1. Left, Right (Front Speakers)

Front speakers carry primarily music and sound eﬀects.

2. Center

In surround mode, the center speaker carries most of the dialog as well as music and eﬀects.

It should be set between the left and right speakers.

3. Surround (Rear Speakers)

The surround speakers’ overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound ﬁeld.

4. Subwoofer

A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass eﬀects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.).

Front Speaker Placement

For best results, follow the speaker placement below.

Alignment

Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or slightly behind (B) (the left and right speakers), but not ahead of them.

Angle

Place the left and right speakers to form a 45-degree angle with your favorite viewing position to dupli- cate the soundtrack mixer’s perspective.

Height

The three front speakers should be as close as pos- sible to the same height. This often requires placing the center speaker directly on top (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.

Note:

Center speaker provided with this unit is magnetically shielded to protect your TV set. It is not recommended to place speak- ers without magnetic shield near the TV set.
