Speaker Positioning Information

Your system is supplied with 5 compact sized satellite speakers and one subwoofer. The satellite speakers reproduce only the mid range and higher frequencies. All of the low frequency (bass) sounds are produced by the subwoofer. Proper positioning and placement of the speakers is important in order to provide the best surround sound experience. We understand that due to the size and shape of your listening room, and the location of your furniture, you may not be able to set up the speakers exactly as per the diagrams that follow. However these simple guidelines will help you maximize your home theatre experience.

￿Although all 5 satellite speakers are the same size, the speaker cables are different lengths. The speaker cables are also color coded to match the color-coded speaker terminals on the back panel of the main unit. Refer to the connection diagram page for additional information.

￿For best surround effects all 5 of the satellite speakers should be roughly the same distance from your usual listening position.

Position all 5 satellite speakers approxmately same distance from your listening position.

Typical Speaker Set Up

￿All 5 satellite speakers approximately same distance from your listening position.

￿Center speaker directly above (or below) TV screen. Left and right front speakers at same height as center speaker.

￿Rear speakers either in line with, or behind listening position, approximately at ear level, or slightly above, when seated.

￿Subwoofer on floor near TV, or in corner, facing the listening position.

￿All speakers must be visible. Do not hide behind curtains, furniture, etc, as this will affect the sound.
