SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Where and how you position your speakers
has a great effect on the overall sound of
your surround sound system.
Cautions:
• Keep the speakers away from heat
sources such as radiators, stoves, or
other appliances.
• Place your subwoofer at least 2–3 feet
away from your television or your
computer's disk drive system so the
speaker's magnet won't distort your TV
picture's color or erase your floppy
disks.
• Do not place the subwoofer’s metal
plate against the floor.
• To prevent the cabinets from warping
or discoloring, do not place the
speakers where they are exposed to
direct sunlight or excessive humidity.
• Do not place the speakers where they
might be knocked over or exposed to
falling objects.
Center Channel Speaker
The center channel output contains the
majority of the dialogue and sound that
comes from on-screen action. Therefore,
you should place it as close as possible to the
television, preferably centered on top of the
TV. Place the front edge of the center
channel speaker grille flush with the edge of
the television.
Your center channel speaker is magnetically
shielded to prevent interference with your
television's picture. It is possible, however,
that some interference might occur.
If this happens, turn off your TV for 15
minutes and move the speaker back about
1-inch from the front of the TV. Turn on the
TV and recheck, if interference still occurs,
move the center channel speaker back
further until the interference disappears.
Before placing the center channel speaker
above or below the TV, place the supplied
pads on bottom of the speaker to protect the
speaker and the surface it will be placed on.
Two pads should be on the bottom corners
and one pad on the edge of the stand as
shown. Also, you can find the best listening
position by adjusting the stand to change
the sound direction.
Main Front Speakers
The main front speakers are critical for
home theater sound. They provide sound for
the action that takes place off screen, as well
as sounds that move from left to right or
right to left. Check the rating label to make
sure you have the main front speakers, as
they are shaped the same as the rear
speakers. Place them at least 2 feet away
from the TV, with the centers of their grilles
as close as possible to the listener's ear level.
