FIRST THINGS FIRST

2. Aim the speakers directly at the two main speakers, matching height to height. If the room is sparsely decorated, it may be necessary to slightly tilt the speakers down to increase sound quality. If the room is densely decorated, it may be necessary to face the speakers toward the rear wall or at the ceiling.

3. Mount the speakers up on the ceiling. Set them a few feet wide of the listeners and make sure they are facing one another, not the floor.

Obviously there are many more possible positions, so it may be necessary to simply experiment to find the right balance for your situation.

BALANCING YOUR SPEAKERS

enables you to reproduce sound effects as they were intended. But to do so, the speakers must be correctly balanced.

A SAMPLE SET UP FOR SURROUND SOUND ENJOYMENT

To balance the speakers using the Test Tone, all speakers must be connected to your receiver. Your receiver must be in the Dolby Pro Logic Surround Mode.

1. Press the TEST TONE button on the receiver front

panel. The receiver generates a “pink noise” and

applies it automatically at two-second intervals to

the left main channel, center channel, right main

channel and left and right rear channels

(simultaneously), in that order.

2. As the pink noise is generated, go to the spot in

the room where you are most likely to be when

listening to your system. The rear surround and

center speakers should be adjusted to equal the

level of output from the left and right main

speakers.
