The front speakers should be placed the same distance from each other as they are from the listening position. They should be placed at about the same height from the floor as the listeners’ ears will be, or they may be angled toward the listeners.

The center-channel speaker (not included with SATPair135) should be placed slightly behind the front left and right speakers, and no more than two feet above or below the tweeters of the left and right speakers. It is often convenient to set the center speaker on top of the television set, as shown in the drawing. Use the supplied support leg to

aim it toward the listener

by screwing the leg in to angle the speaker up, or unscrewing the leg slightly to angle the speaker down.

The two surround speakers should be placed slightly behind the listening position and, ideally, should face each other and be at a level higher than the listeners’ ears. If that is not possible, they may be placed on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround speakers should not call attention to themselves. Experiment with their placement until you hear a diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the main- program material heard in the front speakers.

The SATPair135 speakers are perfect for bringing music to additional rooms in your home. If your receiver or amplifier is equipped with A/B speaker switching, simply connect the pair of speakers to the unused pair of speaker terminals on your receiver, following the directions in the Speaker Connections section on page 5. If you plan on playing both pairs of speakers simultaneously, check with the manufacturer of your receiver or amplifier to find out whether that use is recommended.
