Hints on speaker placement
Speakers are usually designed with a particular placement in mind. Some are designed to be
floorstanding, while others should be placed on stands to sound their best. Some should be placed
near a wall; others should be placed away from walls. We have provided a few tips on getting the
best sound from your speakers (below), but you should also follow the guidelines on placement that
the speaker manufacturer provided with your particular speakers to get the most out of them.
• To achieve the best possible surround
sound, install your speakers as shown
below. Be sure all speakers are installed
securely to prevent accidents and improve
sound quality.
• Place the front left and right speakers at
equal distances from the TV.
• When placing speakers near the TV, we
recommend using magnetically shielded
speakers to prevent possible interference,
such as discoloration of the picture when
the TV is switched on. If you do not have
magnetically shielded speakers and notice
discoloration of the TV picture, move the
speakers farther away from the TV.
• Place the center speaker above or below the
TV so that the sound of the center channel is
localized at the TV screen.
If you choose to install the center speaker
on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with
putty, or by other suitable means, to
reduce the risk of damage or injury
resulting from the speaker falling from
the TV in the event of external shocks
such as earthquakes.
• If possible, place the surround speakers
slightly above ear level.
• Try not to place the surround speakers
further away from the listening position than
the front and center speakers. Doing so can
weaken the surround sound effect.

Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker
terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the rear panel it may cause the power to cut off as
a safety measure. Use good quality speaker wire to connect the speakers to the receiver.
