PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING

FRONT SPEAKERS

For best results the loudspeakers should be separated a distance approximately equal to the listening distance. Angling the loudspeakers inward towards the listener will improve the image stability for non-central listeners. Close proximity to a side or rear wall will enhance the midbass performance, although too close (particularly a corner location) and the bass may be unnaturally high and image performance may be degraded.

STANDARD SURROUND SETUP

This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.

CENTER SPEAKER

The loudspeaker should be positioned below the TV. For best results align the front of the loudspeaker with the front of the TV. If the loudspeaker is placed under the TV and very close to the floor, then tilting upwards may be beneficial.

When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.

SURROUND SPEAKERS

For best results the loudspeakers should be positioned at or above ear level. Depending upon your room layout and preferences, the left and right rear speakers should be positioned on the side walls just the rear of the listening position, or on the walls.

NON-SKID PADS

If the front, center and surround speakers are placed on a hard surface, such as wood or tile place four non-skid pads on the bottom flat surface of the speakers.
