Positioning the Speakers (For 7.1 Audio Channel)
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points:
•Place speakers on flat secure bases.
•Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.
•Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.
Setup example (For 7.1 audio channels)
Subwoofer | Front speakers | Center speaker |
Connections
Place to the right or left of the TV, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration. Leave about 30 cm from the TV.
Place the left and right front speakers equidistant from the center speaker, about 30º angle from the center channel.
Place the center speaker directly in front of the listening area, either above or below the TV. Vibration caused by the speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed on directly on the TV.
Main unit
To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the main unit, position it with at least 5 cm of space on all sides.
