Speaker Setup Guide

Safety precautions when
setting up
When assembling the speakers, lay them down flat on their side to
avoid accidents or injury. Make sure to use a stable surface when
assembling, setting up, and placing the speakers.

Home theater sound setup

Depending on the size and characteristics of your room, you can
place your speakers in one of two ways using this system.

Standard surround setup

This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker setup for
optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.

Front surround setup

This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker placement isn't
possible or you want to avoid running long speaker cables in your
listening area. Use this setup together with the Front Stage
Surround Advance modes in page 32.

Preparing the speakers

This unit comes with speaker bases that can be used to adjust the
speakers to the design of the room in which they are placed.

Using the supplied speaker bases

1 Attach the non-skid pads to the speaker bases, as shown
below.
Use the adhesive side of the pads to attach them to the base of each
speaker base.

2 Attach the speaker bases.
Place the speaker atop a supplied speaker base, and fix the base in
place by using one of the supplied screws.
• The supplied speaker bases come in two different shapes. You
can determine the correct base for a speaker by checking if the
screw's location lines up correctly when the speaker is placed
atop the base. (There are specific bases for the front/center (L)
and surround speaker (R), and for the front/center (R) and
surround speaker (L), with two of each type included.)
