SPEAKER SETUP
This system has been designed to provide the best sound- field quality with a
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for effect and surround sounds. The center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog, vocals, etc.).
Notes
•If you do not use any of effect speakers (rear and/or center), change the settings of SPEAKER SET items at the SET MENU (p.36) to designate the signals to other terminals you connect speakers to.
•If you use speakers (with different tonal qualities) instead of the included speakers, the tone of a moving human voice and other types of sound may not shift smoothly. We recommend that you use speakers from the same manufacturer or speakers with the same tonal quality.
Speaker placement
Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.

Front speakers
Place the front left and right speakers an equal distance from the ideal listening position. The distance between each speaker and each side of the video monitor should also be the same.
Center speaker
Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as possible (such as directly over or under the monitor) and centrally between the front speakers.
Rear speakers
Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, nearly 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor.
Subwoofer
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.
Note
•Although the speaker system in this system is magnetically shielded, it may still affect the color on the television monitor when using this system near the television. Adjust the relative positions of this system and the television if this happens.
