left surround and right surround speakers placed along the sides towards the rear as
shown in the above left picture.
Position the center speaker above or below the video screen or TV. Install a subwoofer
(for powerful bass sounds) anywhere in the room.

for correct setup of the surround system. For more information, see " Setting up the
speakers".
Notes:
• Do not connect more than one speaker to any one pair of +/- speaker terminals.
• Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than the speakers supplied.
Installing your DVD home theater system
• Install your home theater on a stable flat surface. There must be sufficient room in
