Positioning your Speakers

EN
Your system is equipped with Dolby Digital & Digital
Theatre System, which enable the unit to reproduce
sound effects as they were intended. However, the
speakers must be properly positioned and balanced.
In order to enjoy Dolby & Digital Theatre System -
enhanced sound quality, five speakers are preferred:
One center speaker, left and right main speakers, rear
left and right speakers, and an optional subwoofer.
However, if your front
speakers are small speakers, then a subwoofer is
essential or you will not be able to enjoy enhanced
bass effects. Below are a few suggestions for the set
up:
1. The two main speakers should be set between six
and ten feet apart. Putting them any closer or farther
apart may result in less satisfactory sound.
2. Try to align center speaker and two main speakers,
or set the center speaker slightly behind the left and
right main speakers, otherwise the surround effect
may be less satisfactory.
3. Aim the rear speakers directly at the two main
speakers, matching height to height. If the room is
sparsely decorated, slightly tilt the speakers down to
increase sound quality. If the room is densely
decorated, face the speakers towards the rear wall at
the ceiling.
Actually there are many more possible options. You
may experiment repeatedly to find a right balance
for you.
