Selecting the locations for your Lifestyle® 50 system

Figure 2

Recommended front speaker locations

When you place your speakers according to the guidelines below, a combination of reflected and direct sound provides the audio atmosphere of a home theater. You may experiment with the placement and orientation of the Jewel Cube® speakers and Acoustimass® module to produce the sound most pleasing to you. For more discussion of speaker placement and room acoustics, see “Fine-tuning your system” on page 36.

Jewel Cube speakers

Follow these guidelines to select locations that provide the maximum home theater effect from your Lifestyle® 50 system (Figures 2 and 3).

CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for your Jewel Cube speakers. Vibration can cause the speakers to move, particularly on very smooth surfaces. For stability, peel off the backing from the two identical rubber feet and center them in the matching shapes on the bottom of each speaker.

Left and right front speakers

The sound from the left and right front speakers should seem to appear at the edge of the picture, so that the acoustic image is close to the size of the visual image (Figure 2). The front speaker cables allow up to 20 feet (6.1 m) from the Acoustimass module.

1.Place the left and right front speakers so that they line up with the center of the TV screen.

2.Place them up to 3 feet (1 m) from the edge of the TV screen.

We recommend the 3-foot (1 m) maximum distance so that the sound does not become too separated from the picture. You may wish to vary this distance based on room condi- tions and personal preference.

3.Direct one cube of each speaker forward. Direct the other cube toward the wall or in a different direction to create reflected sound. See the illustration of suggested reflected sound patterns in Figure 3.

Note: The Jewel Cube speakers are magnetically shielded so you can place them close to the TV without affecting picture quality.
