OPERATING MANUAL
The centre speaker should be arranged straight above or below the television set and point directly in the main listening direction. It is magnetically shielded so that it will not affect the television. The two front loudspeakers should be set up on the left and right of the room, about halfway between the television set and the main listening position. Ideally they should be placed at a height corresponding to the ear height of seated listeners and be close to a wall or another reecting surface. The effect loudspeakers can be set up directly behind your listening position or at the rear of the room. They should stand on a table or be mounted between 80 cm and 120 cm above the oor.
The subwoofer, the front and the effect loudspeakers as well as the centre speaker each have their own independent volume adjustment which can be set according to the distance to your listening position.
When all the system components have been connected up, test the setting of the volume control for the effect loudspeakers until you have found the setting that results in the surround sound effect to suit your requirements. You should usually only need to set the volume of the rear loudspeaker once and then leave it in this position, unless you change the position of the loudspeakers or
