Speaker placement
If you have a multiple speaker arrangement, the placement of the speakers is extremely important. To achieve
the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below. Make sure all speakers are installed
securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality. Be sure to consult your speaker manuals for the best
placement of the speakers. Some speakers are designed to be floor-standing but others benefit greatly from
speaker stands which raise them off the floor.
• Install the left and right front speakers at equal distances from the TV.
• When installing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to
prevent possible interference such as distortion in the color of the TV screen. If you do not have
magnetically shielded speakers, and notice discoloration of the TV screen, place the speakers farther
away from the TV.
• Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized
at the TV screen.
CAUTION:
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, and it may endanger those nearby or damage the speaker.
• If possible, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level.
• It may be difficult to obtain a cohesive surround effect if the surround speakers are installed farther
away from the listening position than the front and center speakers.
