• Connect at least two speakers (front left and right).
• If you cannot connect all five speakers, give priority to the surround speakers.
• The surround speakers should be placed between 60 degrees and 80 degrees from the listening position.
■ CRT monitors
We recommend that you use magnetically shielded speakers to avoid video distortion, especially for
the front and center speakers near the screen.
If your screen still gets interference from magnetically shielded speakers, move the speakers farther
away from your TV.
