STEP
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points.
≥Attach the included rubber pads to the base of the center and surround speakers. This
prevents vibration from causing the speakers to move or fall over. Use 4 pads per
speaker.
≥Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover
walls and windows with thick curtains.
