Speaker System Connections

Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker wire by matching the colors of the terminals and those of the wires. To obtain the best possible surround sound, adjust the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.).

Speaker Positioningotes

Be sure to match the speaker wire to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3 and # to #. If the wires are reversed, the sound will be distorted and lack bass.

The front speakers have a low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive volume output to the speakers.

Do not disassemble the front covers of supplied speakers.

Speaker Positioning

For a normal setup use 6 speakers (2 front speakers, center speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer).

Front Speakers

Based on your listening position, set up the speakers at equal distance. And by hearing position, set up an interval between speakers of 45 degree.

Center Speaker

It is ideal if the center speaker and front speakers are at the same height. But normally place the center speaker above or below the television as shown below.

Rear Speakers

Place the rear surround speakers to the left and right behind the primary listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround playback. For best results, do not install the rear speakers too far behind the listening position, install them at or above the level of the listener’s ears. It is also effective to direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.

For smaller room sizes, if the audience is near the rear wall, set the rear speakers opposite each other 60 - 90 cm (23.6 - 35.4 inch) above the listener’s ears.

Subwoofer

This can be placed in any front position.
