Positioning the Speakers (For 7.1 Audio Channel)

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound fi eld. Note the following points:

•Place speakers on fl at secure bases.

•Placing speakers too close to fl oors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.

•Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.

Setup example (For 7.1 audio channels)

Subwoofer Front speakers Center speaker

Place to the right or left of the TV, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration. Leave about 30 cm from the TV.

Place the left and right front speakers equidistant from the center speaker, about 30o angle from the center channel.

Place the center speaker directly in front of the listening area, either above or below the TV. Vibration caused by the speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed on directly on the TV.

Place the left and right surround speakers to the left and right side of the listening position, in line with or slightly behind the listening position - about 90o-110ofrom the center.
