SPEAKER PLACEMENT

Refer to the following diagram when you place the speakers.

Caution

•Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with a monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.

■Placing the main speakers

	TV or video
Main	monitor	Main
speaker		speaker

Place the left and right main speakers an equal distance from the main listening position. If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, the distance of each speaker from each side of the TV or video monitor should be the same.

■Placing the center speaker

TV or video

monitor

Center speaker

If you have a TV or video monitor in your system, align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of the monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as possible, such as directly over or under the monitor. If you place the speaker under the monitor, the front effect speakers can adjust the height of the sound to correspond with the action on the screen (depending on the listener’s position). If you have a projection screen in your system, place the center speaker under the screen. Be sure to align the speaker with the center of the screen.

This distance can be farther than the front effect speakers’.

These speakers should be placed about 0.5 – 1 m (1 – 3 feet) outside the main speakers and in the front of the room. They should be turned toward the main listening position. Place the rear speakers in the back of the room so they face the main listening position. The rear speakers can be placed farther apart than the front effect speakers. Place these speakers at the height of 1.5 m when listening as sitting on the floor or 1.8 m when listening as sitting on the chair.

Once you begin listening to programs, continue to adjust the speaker placement until you obtain a balanced sound from the main speakers and the front effect and rear speakers.

■When you use a projection screen

					Place the speakers as shown in the illustration.
					The main speakers should be placed about one-quarter of the way up from the bottom of
					the screen.
