Connection diagram for the loudspeakers
Setting up the loudspeakers
If possible, set up the front loudspeakers in line with the TV set,
angled slightly towards the listener. The listener and the speakers
should form an equilateral triangle. This creates the best stereo
effect.
The surround loudspeakers should be angled slightly towards each
other at a sufficient distance to the left and right behind the listener.
They should be positioned at ear height, even when wall-mounted.
Set up the central loudspeaker at the midpoint between the two front
speakers, for example above or below the TV set. The best height
for the centre loudspeaker is at head height of the seated listener.
To achieve the best possible bass sound, we recommend that you set
up the subwoofer to the left or right of the front loudspeakers, in
such a way that the sound crosses the room diagonally.
When you are in the middle of the room, you may not be able to
hear the bass tone of the subwoofer sufficiently. This is caused by
what are known as standing waves, which occur between parallel
walls. In this case, simply position the subwoofer at an angle to the
wall.
Avoid placing the loudspeakers in a corner, because this over-
amplifies the bass tones.
Objects in front of the loudspeakers significantly impair the treble
tones and the stereo effect.
