"B" terminals
For connection to a second pair of speakers.
Note
Use the A terminals to enjoy SURROUND,
SFC and DVD 6CH INPUT.
Front speakers
Place on the left and right of the TV at seated ear height so that
there is good coherency between the picture and sound.
Center speaker
Place underneath or above the center of the TV. Aim the speaker at
the seating area.
Surround speakers
Place on the side of or slightly behind the seating area, about one
meter higher than ear level.
Subwoofer
The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a
reasonable distance from the TV.
Note that some experimentation can yield the smoothest low
frequency performance. Placement near a corner can increase the
apparent output level, but can result in unnatural bass.
