If the rear speakers are positioned at an extreme dis-
tance, the surround level will be unable to adjust and the
surround effect will not be fully achieved.
NOTE:
@ To avoid interference with the picture on a nearby TV set, use
magnetically shielded speaker systems. This is particularly
important for the center speaker since it is usually located
closest to the TV.
e Position the left and right channel speakers at equal distanc-
es from the TY set and approximately 1.8 m (6 feet) from each
other.
® Position the center speaker above, below, or behind the TV
set. Sound may not appear to coincide with the picture if you
position it next to the TV set.
® Rear speakers are best positioned slightly above ear level.
