Getting Started

Positioning your speaker

1 Left, Right (Front Speakers)

They carry primarily music and sound effects

2 Center

In surround mode, the center speaker carries much of the dialogue as well as music and effects. It should be set between the left and right speakers.

3 Surround (Rear Speakers)

Their overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field.

Subwoofer

A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heightens involvement with the action on the screen. It is therefore recommended to connect sub- woofers when small speakers are used.

Magnetic shielding

Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent picture distor- tion. Front and center speakers provided with RTDVD1 are magnetically shielded to protect your TV set.

It is not recommended to place the rear speakers near the TV set.

Alignment

Align the center speaker evenly with (A), or slightly behind

 

(B), the left and right speakers, but not ahead of them.

Angle

Placing the left and right speakers to form a 45-degree angle with your favorite viewing position will duplicate the soundtrack mixer's perspective.

Height

The mid- and high-frequency drivers of the three front speakers should be as close as possible to the same height. This often requires placing the center speaker directly atop

(A) or beneath (B) the TV set.
