Positioning Your Speaker; Front Speaker Placement - RCA RT2350 User Manual

Positioning your speaker

1 Left, Right (Front Speakers)
They carry primarily music and sound effects
2 Center
In surround mode, the center speaker carries much of
the dialogue as well as music and effects. It should be
set between the left and right speakers.
3 Surround (Rear Speakers)
Their overall sound balance should be as close as pos-
sible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital
to establish an evenly distributed sound field.
Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low
bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships,
etc.) which dramatically heightens involvement with
the action on the screen. It is therefore recommend-
ed to connect subwoofers when small speakers are
used.
Magnetic shielding
Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set
must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent
picture distortion. Front and center speakers provid-
ed with RT2350/RT2350BK/RT2600 are magnetically
shielded to protect your TV set.
It is not recommended to place the rear speakers
near the TV set.

Height
The three speakers should be as close as possible to

ter speaker directly atop (A) or beneath (B) the TV
set.
