Additional notes on speaker placement
If your listening room is of adequate size, place the speakers as shown in step 3 to achieve the optimum surround sound effect. If you are listening in a fairly small room and a typical surround speaker setup is not possible, see Home theater sound setup in the instruction manual and the Speaker Setup Guide for information on the Front Surround 3-spot setup option.
When using the standard surround speaker setup as shown in step 3, please observe the following guidelines:
•Install the main front left and right speakers at an equal distance from the TV.
•For optimum effect, install the rear speakers slightly above ear level.
•Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
Precautions:
• When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to |
secure it with tape or some other suitable means. Otherwise, the |
speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as |
earthquakes, endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker. |
• Do not connect the supplied speakers with any other amplifier. |
This may result in malfunction or fire. |
