The main speakers are used for the main source sound plus effect sounds. They will probably be the speakers from your present stereo system. The rear speakers are used for effect and surround sounds.

Main speakers
Place the main 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 main speakers.
Rear speakers
Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards, about 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor.
Rear center speaker
Place the rear center speaker in the center between the rear left and right speakers at the same height from the floor as the rear speakers.
Subwoofer
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. However, it is better to place the subwoofer near the main speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.
Note
•If you do not use any of effect speakers (rear, center and/or rear center), change the settings of “SOUND 1 SPEAKER SET” items at the set menu to direct signals to other terminals you have connected speakers to.
CAUTION
Use magnetically shielded speakers. If these speakers still create interference with the monitor, place the speakers away from the monitor.
