Installation
Multi-Channel Music and Home Theater
If you plan to use your BG loudspeakers for home
theater or multi-channel audio, here are some ad-
ditional recommendations:
1. The center channel loudspeaker should be
positioned directly above or below your television.
NOTE: The Z1, Z5 and Z7 models are mag-
netically shielded and can be used in very close
proximity to tube (CRT) television. When using
the Z62 and Z92 with a CRT TV, do not place the
speakers closer than 2 feet (0.6 m) to it, to avoid
interference.
2. If you are using a projector, you will need a
suitable stand to position the center channel loud-
speaker on the floor below the screen or a brack-
et above or below the screen. Aim the loudspeak-
er so it is directed at your listening position. The
center channel loudspeaker should be as close
as possible to the screen so the voice soundtrack
appears to come from the video image.
The optimum position for all five loudspeakers
should be the same distance from the listening
position (distance A, B and D are equal), see dia-
gram on opposite page. If it is not possible, the
delay and level adjustment functions available in
most home theater processors can compensate
for the differences in distances. The diagram
shows the optimum placement for the rear loud-
speakers. The subwoofer should be placed be-
side or behind either the left or right front speak-
er. For multiple subwoofers see your authorized
BG dealer for advanced setup procedures.
If you place BG loudspeakers on a shelf or in a
wall unit, make sure the loudspeakers are not
recessed too deeply and nothing is in front of or
in close proximity to the drivers to obstruct the
sound.
Processor Setting – We recommend using the
small loudspeaker mode on your processor to
protect your loudspeaker's low frequency driv-
ers from extremely low bass signals. This setting
will also allow higher dynamic range and cleaner
sound at louder levels.
This manual addresses 5.1 surround sound
systems. Where 7.1 or higher systems are being
utilized, see your authorized BG dealer for ad-
vanced setup procedures.
