Hints on speaker placement

The following guidelines will help you to get the best performance from your speaker system. See Home theater sound setup on page 24 for surround placement options with this system.

•Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV.

•Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

•If possible, place the surround speakers slightly above ear level.

Caution

•These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE VOLTAGE. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts.

•If you choose to install the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with putty, or by other suitable means, to reduce the risk of damage or injury resulting from the speaker falling from the TV in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.
