Page 10: Positioning Your Speakers
POSITIONING YOUR SPEAKERS SUBWOOFER/AMPLIFIER Place the Subwoofer cabinet on the floor, preferably near a wall. Do not place it on a desktop or shelf. For the most efficient bass performance, place the subwoofer near a corner. If the subwoofer is placed away from the intersection of two room surfaces, the maximum bass output will be reduced. - Page 11 POSITIONING THE SATELLITES Wall Placement (Swivel brackets available separately) Avoid facing a satellite parallel to a nearby wall (within 6-8 inches). The reflected sound from the wall degrades the sound coming directly from the satellite (diagram A). Try to position wall-mounted satellites so both are approximately at your ear level while sitting or slightly higher.

OPERATION AND FINAL ADJUSTMENT 1) Use the Volume Control or the signal source control to vary output level. 2) Defeat or cancel any “tone control” or other sound adjustments within your audio program source.
