Speaker Setup Guide

Home theater sound setup

CAUTION

Depending on the size and characteristics of your room, you can place your speakers in one of two ways using this system. For the speaker configuration, see the Setup Guide.

5 spot/4 spot speaker layout

This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.

3 spot/2 spot speaker layout

This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker placement isn’t possible or you want to avoid running long speaker cables in your listening area.

Preparing the speakers

Preparation common to all models

Attaching non-skid pads

•Attach the smaller non-skid pads to the base of each of the speakers. The four large non-skid pads are for the subwoofer.

Use the supplied adhesive to attach 3 or 4 pads to the base (flat surface) of each speaker.

Preparation for the HTZ280DVD/ HTZ280DVD-AP/HTZ282DVD/ HTZ282DVD-AP

The layouts of the 5-spot speaker and 3-spot speaker are the same:

•Be careful not to tighten screws excessively.

•If excessive force is used to tighten screws, the threads of screw and/or nut may be damaged. Use a middle-sized manual screwdriver during assembly.

•Do not use power screwdrivers or oversized screwdrivers that may exert excessive force on the screws and nuts.

•Confirm that no foreign matter is stuck to the stand base or the tall speaker during assembly.

•If the unit is assembled with foreign matter stuck between the stand base and the tall speaker the unit may not be assembled securely, resulting in tipping or falling.

•Do not stand on the speaker stand base of the tall speaker to push or swing the speaker. The speaker may fall and break, or someone may be injured. Pay special attention to children.

Securing your front and surround speakers

•Secure each of the front and surround speakers using the plastic catch provided.

Screw two supporting hooks into the wall behind the speaker. Pass a thick cord around the hooks and through the plastic catch so that the speaker is stabilized (make sure to test that it supports the weight of the speaker). After installing, make sure the speaker is securely fixed.

Assembling the speaker stands

•Attach the speaker stand bases to the stems using the screws provided.

Once you have aligned the stem and base, secure with the small screws at the points see the Setup Guide. Note that the speaker should face in the direction of the base of the isosceles triangle.
