Example 3
Place the front speakers in one room and the
surround speakers in another room. For details,
see “Listening to the sound in another room” on
page 58.
MHC-GN1000D only
Place the front speakers at an angle of 45
degrees from your listening position.
Notes
• Do not place the surround speakers on top of a TV.
This may cause distortion of the colors in the TV
screen.
• If you place the center speaker on the unit, be sure to
place it at the front side of the unit.
• Place the subwoofer on solid floor where resonance
is unlikely to occur so that a better bass reproduction
could be obtained.
• Always place the subwoofer vertically, keeping it a
few centimeters/inches 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.
