Surround speakers
• Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV.
Angle the speakers towards the listening area to enhance
the stereo effect.
• Place the center speaker on the center between the front
left and right speakers. Tilt the speaker upward or down-
ward so that it is directly facing the listening area.
• The subwoofer's deep-bass reproduction characteristics are
richest when the subwoofer is installed in a corner or near
a wall.
• Place the surround speakers straight to or diagonally be-
hind the left and right of the listening position.
• Place the surround back speaker behind the listining posi-
tion, at the same height as the left and right surround speak-
ers.
About Using Speaker Near a TV
This center speaker include magnetic shielding and can there-
fore be installed close to a TV set. Note, however, that placing
the speaker too close to a CRT type TV may in some cases
produce distortion in the color reception. In such case, turn on
the TV and check that color reproduction is normal. If color is
distorted, turn the TV off for 15 to 30 minutes, then turn it back
on and check again. (This allows the TV's degaussing circuitry
to correct for the magnetic field from the speaker.) If distortion
is still present, move the speaker further from the TV.
