PREPARATION
Placing Your Speakers
Proper speaker placement is essential to realize the best sound from your system. It is very important for
speaker placement to read the instructions that come with your speakers so please be sure to do so.
Speaker placement
If you have a multiple speaker arrangement the placement of the speakers is extremely important. To achieve
the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below. Make sure all speakers are installed
securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality. Some speakers are designed to be floor-standing
but others benefit greatly from speaker stands which raise them off the floor. Be sure to read your speaker
manuals for the best placement of the speakers.
Power Connections (AC IN)
Plug in the power cord to a wall outlet after you have finished hooking up the rest of your equipment.
Power Connections (AC OUTLETS)
(European model only)
[SWITCHED TOTAL 100 W MAX]
Power supplied through this outlet is turned on and off by this unit’s STANDBY/ON button.
Total electrical power consumption of connected equipment should not exceed 100 W.
CAUTION:
When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with suitable means.
Memo:
• When installing speakers near the TV,
we recommend using magnetically
shielded speakers to prevent
distortion in the color of the TV screen.
If you do not have magnetically
shielded speakers and notice
discoloration of the TV screen, place
the speakers farther away from the TV.
• Install the center speaker above or
below the TV so that the sound of the
center channel is localized at the TV
screen.
• THX recommends that if you have two
surround back speakers you place
them close together.
