1 Place the front speakers at an angle of
45 degrees from your listening
position.
2 Place the center speaker at about the
same height as the front speakers.
Align the center speaker with the front
speakers or place it slightly behind the front
speakers.
3 Place the surround speakers.
Position the surround speakers within the
respective gray ranges.
Positioning both surround speakers the
same distance from the listening position is
effective.
4 Place the subwoofer.
To obtain a better bass reproduction, we
recommend you to place the subwoofer on
a solid floor where resonance is unlikely to
occur.
Notes
Do not place the surround speakers on top of a TV.
This may cause distortion of the colors in the TV
screen.
Always place the subwoofer vertically, keeping it a
few centimeters away from the wall.
If the subwoofer is placed in the center of a room, the
bass could be extremely weakened. This is due to the
influence of the standing wave of the room. If this
happens, move the subwoofer away from the center
of the room or eliminate the cause of the standing
wave, by placing a bookshelf against the wall, etc.
Speaker settings
To enjoy DVDs, Super Audio CDs and other
discs with multi-channel sound and Dolby
surround effects, the speakers need to be
adjusted. Set the distance from the listening
position to the speakers, and the balance and
level. Then use the test tone to adjust the volume
of each speaker to the same level.
For details, see “Speaker settings” on page 34.
