Choosing the speaker cord

The product label on the back of each speaker indicates LEFT or RIGHT. For best acoustic
performance, place the left speaker on the left side as you face your speakers and place the
right speaker on the right side.
Keep the speakers 6 - 15 feet (1.8 - 6 m) apart and at least 10 inches (25 cm) from side walls
(see Figure 3).
It is important not to block the acoustic components at the rear of each speaker. To avoid
this, place each speaker at least 8 inches (20 cm) from the wall behind it.
