Speaker layout

To obtain the best possible sound from this system, you
need to place all the speakers except the subwoofer at the
same distance from the listening position.

If your speakers cannot be placed at the same distance
from the listening position
You can adjust the delay time of the speakers. See "Delay
menu (DELAY)" on page 34.
NOTE
• Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.
• The front and center speakers are magnetically shielded to
avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed
properly, they may cause color distortions. So, pay attention
to the following when installing the speakers.
– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV's
main power switch or unplug it before installing the
speakers. Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on
the TV's main power switch again.
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have
followed the above. If this happens, move the speakers away
from the TV.
• The surround speakers and the subwoofer are not
magnetically shielded.
If they are located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably
cause color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not
place the speakers nearby the TV or monitor.
• Be sure to place the subwoofer to the TV's right. If you place
the subwoofer to the TV's left, keep sufficient distance
between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing
mottled.
