Kenwood KSS-500 Speaker System User Manual


 
Placing the CFS-200
Left and Right
Speakers
Place the speakers to each side
of your TV screen, near ear level.
For the best stereo effect, place
the speakers at least 2 ft from
the side of the TV, but not so far
from it that the ‘size’ of the
sound image is much larger than
the size of the TV picture image.
To enhance the stereo effect
(especially if they are more than
8 feet apart) angle each speaker
slightly toward the listening area.
For the smoothest match
between the subwoofer and the
left and right speakers, place the
3 of them in an imaginary straight
line with each other.
Since the front speakers are
magnetically shielded, you can
place them close to a TV without
worrying about picture distortion.
Placing the CFS-200
Center speaker
Place the center speaker above
or below the middle of the TV
or video screen.
Since the speaker is magnetically
shielded, you can place it on top
of a TV without worrying about
picture discoloration.
Make sure that the speaker is
aimed directly toward the listen-
ers at seated ear level. If you
place it above or below ear level,
tilt it down or up to aim it
toward the listeners.
Make sure the center speaker is
as close as possible to the same
height as the left and right speak-
ers. Never place it so there is
more than a 2 foot height differ-
ence between the center and the
left and right speakers.
Placing the RS-05
Surround speakers
Place the surround speakers
directly to the sides of the listen-
ing position, pointing at the
listeners—this is where they
work best.
Mount the speakers at least 2
feet above the listeners’ heads,
with the back of the cabinet (the
side with the speaker connector)
flush against the wall. You can
hang the speakers on the wall
using ordinary picture hangers.
The speakers can be oriented
either vertically or horizontally.
To set the speaker on a shelf,
insert the supplied shelf-mount
bracket into the holes on the
rear of the speaker.
If the listening area is more than
1 row deep, place the speakers
halfway back along the sides of
the listening area.
