1. Left, Right (Front Speakers)
Front speakers carry primarily music and sound
eff ects.
2. Center
In surround mode, the center speaker carries most
of the dialog as well as music and eff ects.
It should be set between the left and right
speakers.
3. Surround (Rear Speakers)
The surround speakers' overall sound balance
should be as close as possible to the front speakers.
Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly
distributed sound fi eld.
4. Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low
bass eff ects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships,
etc.).
Note:
Center speaker provided with this unit
is magnetically shielded to protect your
TV set. It is not recommended to place
speakers without magnetic shield near the
TV set.

Front Speaker Placement

For best results, follow the speaker placement
below.
Alignment
Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or slightly
behind (B) (the left and right speakers), but not
ahead of them.
Angle
Place the left and right speakers to form a 45-
degree angle with your favorite viewing position to
duplicate the soundtrack mixer's perspective.
Height
The three front speakers should be as close as
possible to the same height. This often requires
placing the center speaker directly on top (A) or
beneath (B) the TV set.
