Positioning the center speaker (NX-C120)

Place the center speaker precisely between the front speakers, facing directly forward. You can place the center speaker on top of a TV (if the top of the TV is flat), on the floor beneath the TV, or in an entertainment center. Be sure to place the speaker in a stable location.

When placing the speaker on top of a TV, to pre- vent the speaker from falling, attach the provided fasteners at two points on the bottom of the speaker and on top of the TV, as illustrated below.

Positioning the subwoofer (SW-P240)

Although the placement of the subwoofer is not as critical as that of the other speakers, it is best to place the subwoofer outside either the right or left front speaker. (See Figure A.)

The placement shown in Figure B is also accept- able. However, in some cases, if you listen from the center of the room, the super-bass range from the subwoofer may sound weak. This is due to “standing waves” that can develop between paral- lel walls that effectively diminish or cancel the bass sound. In this event, face the subwoofer obliquely to the wall. It also may help to break up the parallel surface by placing bookshelves or other large objects along the wall.

Cautions:

Do not place the center speaker on a TV that has a top surface area smaller than the speaker bottom. Other- wise, the speaker may fall and cause injury.

Do not place the center speaker on a TV that has a slanted or inclined top.

Do not touch the adhesive surface of a fastener after you peel off the seal, as this will weaken the adhesive strength of the fastener.

Thoroughly wipe to clean the surface where the fas- tener is to be applied. Note that adhesive strength will be weakened if the surface is dirty, oily or wet. Weak- ened adhesive may cause the center speaker to fall.

Non-skid pads: Place the included non-skid pads at the four corners of the bottom of the sub- woofer to prevent the subwoofer from sliding due to vibration or minor impact.
