Notes

•Do not place the surround speakers on top of a TV. This may cause distortion of the colors in the TV screen.

•If you place the center speaker on the unit, be sure to place it at the front side of the unit.

•Place the subwoofer on solid floor where resonance is unlikely to occur so that a better bass reproduction could be obtained.

•Always place the subwoofer vertically, keeping it a few centimeters away from the wall.

•If the subwoofer is placed in the center of a room, the bass could be extremely weakened. This is due to the influence of the standing wave of the room. If this happens, move the subwoofer away from the center of the room or eliminate the cause of the standing wave, by placing a bookshelf against the wall, etc.

Tip

You can enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound while playing a DVD VIDEO. To adjust the speaker volume and level, see page 52.

Speaker settings

To enjoy multi-channel source sound and Dolby surround effects, adjust the speakers distance and level, see “Speakers settings” on page 49.
