Your system is supplied with 5 compact sized satellite speakers and
one large subwoofer. The satellite speakers reproduce only the mid
range and higher frequencies. All of the low frequency (bass) sounds
are produced by the subwoofer. Proper positioning and placement
of the speakers is important in order to provide the best surround
sound experience. We understand that due to the size and shape of
your listening room, and the location of your furniture, you may not
be able to set up the speakers exactly as per the diagrams that
follow. However these simple guidelines will help you maximize your
home theater experience.
Note the speaker levels are preset at the factory and most people
will not need to fine tune the sound of each speaker. We suggest
you skip this part at first and go to Page 22. Later on you can fine
tune the sound level of each speaker. See Page 21.
Although all 5 satellites are the same size, the speakers inside the
cabinets are different. The
speaker terminals on the back of the
cabinets
are color coded, as are the speaker wires and the speaker
terminals on the back of the main unit. Refer to the connection
diagram on page 5. Be sure you are using the correct satellite
speaker in each location, front, rear and center. Please follow
the colors for best results. This is especially important for the
center speaker.
For best surround sound effects, all 5 of the satellite speakers
should be roughly at the same distance from your usual listening
position.
SPEAKER POSITIONING INFORMATION
POSITION ALL 5 SPEAKERS APPROXIMATELY AT THE
SAME DISTANCE FROM YOUR LISTENING POSITION.
TYPICAL SPEAKER SETUP
All 5 satellite speakers should be placed approximately the same distance from your listening position.
The center speaker should be placed directly above (or below) TV set. Left and right front speakers should be approximately
at the same height as the center speaker.
The rear speakers should be either in line with, or behind listening position, approximately at ear level, or slightly above.
The subwoofer should be on the floor near the TV, or in any corner, facing your listening position.
All speakers must be visible. Do not hide them behind curtains, furniture, etc, as this will affect the sound.
