Positioning for best effect

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.

Note the following points.

•Attach the included rubber pads to the base of the center speaker (SC-HT15: center and surround speakers). This prevents vibration from causing the speakers to move or fall over. Use 4 pads per speaker.

•Place speakers on flat secure bases.

•Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with a thick curtain.

Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position.

The angles in the diagram are approximate.

Front speakers (left, right)

Place on the left and right of the TV at seated ear height so that there is good coherency between the picture and sound.

Center speaker

Place underneath or above the center of the TV. Aim the speaker at the seating area.

Surround speakers (left, right)

Place on the side of or slightly behind the seating area, higher than ear level.

Subwoofer

The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a reasonable distance from the TV.

Note that some experimentation can yield the smoothest low frequency performance. Placement near a corner can increase the apparent output level, but can result in unnatural bass.

Preventing the speakers from falling over

Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to a wall (diagram on the right).

•Obtain the screws appropriate to the walls and pillars to which they are going to be fastened.

•Consult with a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that may not have strong enough support. Improper installation may result in damage to the wall or speakers.

If irregular colouring occurs on your television

The supplied speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup combinations.

If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes. The television's demagnetising function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.

Caution

•The main unit and supplied speakers are only to be used as indicated in this manual. Failure to do so may lead to damage to the receiver and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk or fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage has occurred or if you experience a sudden change in performance.

•Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using methods other than those described in this manual.
