Speaker Placement - Pioneer Elite VSX-21 Operating Instructions Manual

Speaker placement

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.
• Install the left and right front speakers at equal distances from the TV.
memo
• When installing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent
possible interference such as distortion in the color of the TV screen. If you do not have magnetically
shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV screen, place the speakers farther away from the TV.
• Install the center speaker above, below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV
screen.
CAUTION:
When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable
means.
Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, and it may lead to
endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.
• If possible, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level.
• It may be difficult to obtain a cohesive surround effect if the surround speakers are installed farther away
from the listening position than the front and center speakers.
