SETTING UP THE SPEAKERS

Before making connections, place all speakers in their respective positions. The positioning of the speakers is important because it controls the whole sound quality of this system.

Place the speakers depending on your listening position by following the instructions below.

Speaker configuration

<NS-P430>

This speaker package employs a 6 speaker configuration: 2 main speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center speaker and a subwoofer.

The main speakers emit main source sound. The rear speakers emit surround sounds, and the center speaker emits center sounds (dialog etc.). The subwoofer emits reinforcing low frequencies on your audio system.

<NS-P436>

This speaker package employs a 7 speaker configuration: 2 main speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center speaker, a rear center speaker and a subwoofer.

The main speakers emit main source sound. The rear and rear center speakers emit surround sounds, and the center speaker emits center sounds (dialog etc.). The subwoofer emits reinforcing low frequencies on your audio system.

Placing speakers

Main speakers: On both sides of and at approximately the same height as the TV set.

Rear speakers: Behind your listening position, facing slightly inward. About 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet) from the floor.

Center speaker: Precisely between the main speakers.

Rear center speaker (for NS-P436):

Precisely between the rear speakers.

Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so critical because low bass tones are not highly directional.

Refer to “Placing the subwoofer” on page 4 for a recommended positioning of the subwoofer.

These speakers feature a magnetically shielded design, but there is still a chance that placing them too close to a TV set might impair picture color. Should this happen, move the speakers away from the TV set.
