Speaker System Connections

Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cables by matching the colors of the terminals to those of the cables. To obtain the best possible surround sound, fine tune your system by adjusting the various speaker settings (levels, delays, etc.).

ote

Be sure to match the speaker cables to the appropri- ate terminals: + to + and – to –. If the cables are reversed, the sound will be distorted and lack bass. If you use front speakers with low maximum input rat- ings, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive volume output to the speakers.

Do not disassemble the front covers of the supplied speakers.

Speaker Positioning

Follow these guidelines to position the six supplied speakers (two front speakers, center speaker, two rear speakers and subwoofer).

If you want to hear deeper bass, DTS digital surround and/or Dolby Digital surround, consider adding an active subwoofer with built-in amplifier.

•Front speakers

The front speakers should be placed at equal dis- tances from your primary listening position. The speakers should be placed 45 degrees apart relative to the listening position.

•Center speaker

Ideally the center speaker should be placed at the same height as the front speakers and at the same distance from your primary listening area.

•Rear speakers

Place the rear surround speakers to the left and right behind the primary listening area. For best results, do not position the rear speakers too far behind the lis- tening position. Place them at or above ear level. It is also effective to direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.

If the listening area is in a small room against a rear wall, set the rear speakers opposite each other 2-3 feet above the listener’s ears.

•Subwoofer

This can be placed in any front position.
