Speaker configuration
This system employs a 6-speaker configuration: 2 front
speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center speaker and a
subwoofer.
The front speakers are used for the main source sound
plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for
the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker
is for the center sounds (such as dialog.). The
subwoofer is for reinforcing low frequencies of the main
source sound and the center sound.

Although FRONT, REAR, and CENTER speakers are

case, place the speakers far enough from the TV so
that there is no influence on the TV picture.
