Choosing the Best Location

Front speakers
To obtain high sound quality and a proper sound
image from the front speakers, place the speaker with
the built–in operation panel to the left of your TV and
the other to the right of your TV.
For the best sound image, place the left and right
speakers within 2.5 m (8 ft) of each other and
equidistant from the TV.
Rear speakers
Place the rear speakers so that they face directly across
from each other about 60 to 90 cm (2 to 3 ft) above the
listener's ear.

Caution
Before disconnecting the AC power cord of the front speaker
