Speaker placement
ENGLISH
To obtain the best surround sound effect in your home, place the speakers as follows; Front speakers: Place each front speaker about 1m (40 ) from the TV set.
Center speaker: Place the center speaker either above or below the TV set to assure good visualization of center channel program.
Rear speakers: Place the rear speakers approximately 1m above the ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightly behind.
Subwoofer: Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds. Place a powered subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.
The ideal surround system needs all the speakers listed above.
However, if you don’t have a center speaker, a subwoofer or rear speakers, select the best possible surround mode with the available speakers.
To enjoy the surround sound best, the speakers to be connected are as follows;

If a DTS Decoder is connected to the 6 CH DIRECT INPUTS, the most accurate reproduction requires that front, center and surround speakers all be full range speakers.
Note:To avoid interference with the TV picture, use only magnetically shielded center and front speakers.

Surround sound effect will not work properly if the signal passes through a graphic equalizer.
Please refer to your equalizer operating instructions for guidance on switching off (or defeating) the equalizer.
