Setting up the surround sound
system
You must connect all the speakers and set up the system
properly in order to enjoy the Digital Cinema experience at
home (refer to "Connections - Connecting the speakers").
You will have the feeling of being in the middle of the action
because sound is coming from everywhere around you. The
subwoofer can enhance the bass performance of your
system dramatically.
IMPORTANT!
Please sit at your usual listening position in order to
set up the speaker balance correctly.
Placing the speakers
To obtain the best surround effect, place the speaker as
follows.
1-9
Preparations
1 Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances
from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees
from the listening position.
2
Place the center speaker above or below the TV, so the
center channel's sound is localized.
3
Place the surround speakers at normal listening ear level
facing each other or mounted on the wall.
4
Place the subwoofer on the floor near to the TV.
Notes:
– To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front
speakers too close to your TV.
– If the rear surround speakers are installed farther away from
the listening position than the front and center speakers, it will
weaken the surround effect.
– All speakers should be securely installed to prevent accidents
and improve sound quality.
