Room Setup Suggestions
Rear Surround Speakers
The TK-5C 2-way Bookshelf Speakers may be placed either above, behind or to the sides of the listening position. The listening position should be centered between the surround speakers. For best performance you may want to experiment with angling the surround speakers either towards or away from the listening position.
Subwoofer
Placement of the subwoofer will largely determine quality, quantity, and extension of the bass frequencies within your listening room. Bass frequencies are reinforced by close room boundaries. Placing the subwoofer in a corner will make the subwoofer sound louder and boost the very lowest frequencies. Placing the subwoofer away from walls will provide the least reinforcement, making the bass sound subjectively thinner than if the woofer were close to a wall. Good results can usually be obtained by placing a subwoofer along a wall 1-3 feet from a corner. Experiment with subwoofer placement and the sub-amplifier controls to achieve the proper bass balance.
NOTE: There are several different surround formats available. Dolby Pro-Logic, Pro-Logic II, Dolby Digital and DTS generally have a 5 speaker plus subwoofer requirement. Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES add a center rear speaker. Please consult your audio/video professional to determine which system is best for you and how many speakers you will require.
