....Speaker Placement continued
In some systems, two center speakers are used; one on either side of the TV. As they are in mono, the result is a sound image that is positioned exactly at the screen center.
The TGIII has two

The Surround speakers
Place each surround speaker to be an equal distance away from your central listening position and keep them at least one or two feet above ear level.
AThe diagram shows the use of dipole surround speakers. These are usually positioned to the side of your listening position. They radiate forwards and backwards and have a quiet null zone which should point towards the listener. The overall effect is that you cannot hear the direct sound from the surround speakers, just the average soundfi eld.
Conventional surround speakers can be placed behind the listener, on the rear walls or the side walls. Adjust the angle so they do not point directly at the listener but cause refl ections from the sidewalls or the ceiling. This will give the effect of broadening the rear soundstage so that you cannot distinguish the sound as coming from a small box on the wall but from a larger area behind you.
Surround Back Speakers
The TGIII has two extra outputs for surround back speakers. These create a wonderful sense of realism in surround effects during playback of Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES.
The TGIII can be confi gured for one or two surround back speakers. Ideally, all the surround speakers should be of the same make and model, and fi tted at similar heights to produce a smooth continuous sound- fi eld.
If you are connecting one surround back speaker, connect its am- plifi er input to the TGIII left surround back output. Place the speaker behind your listening position.
The Subwoofer
The TGIII has identical output connections for up to three subwoof- ers, in addition to a fourth, balanced sub out.
The best location for a single subwoofer can be found by playing some heavy bass and proceeding as follows:
1.Place the subwoofer at your normal listening position, and play your music.
2.Leaving the subwoofer in this position, walk over to a few likely locations in your room, where the subwoofer might fi t and fi nd a point where the deep bass sounds the best. This is usually somewhere close to the corners of the room. Try locations fairly close to the front speakers.
3.When you have found the best practical location, move your subwoofer to this point.
4.This is the best position for the subwoofer. The bass will sound the best when you sit in your normal listening position.
5.Typically, a corner location will yield the highest subwoofer output
