Speaker Setup

Positioning the speakers

For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the subwoofer should be the same distance from the listening position (A). However, this system allows you to place the center speaker up to 1.6 meters (5 ft) closer (B) and the surround speakers up to 5.0 meters (16 ft) closer (C) to the listening position.

The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to

7.0meters (4 to 23 ft) (A) from the listening position.

Place speakers as illustrated below.

Note

•Do not place the center and surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front speakers.

If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screen

The front and center speakers and the subwoofer are magnetically shielded to allow it to be installed near a TV set. However, color irregularities may still be observed on certain types of TV sets. As the surround speakers are not magnetically shielded, we recommend that you place the surround speakers slightly further away from TV set.

If color irregularity is observed...

Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes.

If color irregularity is observed

again...

Place the speaker further away from the TV set.

If howling occurs

Reposition the speakers or turn down the volume on the system.
