Step 2: Setting up the
speakers
(MHC-M500AV/M300AV only)
Connecting the supplied rear and center surround
speakers enables you to fully enjoy Dolby Pro
Logic Surround sound. Dolby Pro Logic Surround
is a decoding system standardized in TV programs
and movies. Dolby Pro Logic Surround improves
the sound image by using four separate channels.
These channels manipulate the sound to be heard
and enhance the action as if it happens on the
screen.

* MHC-M500AV only
For MHC-M300AV customers, you can
connect an optional super woofer speaker (see
page 45).
Each speaker should face the listening position.
Better surround effect will result if all speakers are
set at the same distance from the listening
position.
Place the front speakers at a suitable distance to
the left and right of the television.
For MHC-M500AV, place the super woofer on
either side of the television.
Place the center speaker on the top-center of the
TV set.
The placement of rear speakers greatly depends on
the configuration of the room. The rear speakers
may be placed on both sides of the listening
position A or behind the listening position B.

Setting the center speaker
Attach the supplied speaker pads to the bottom of
the center surround speaker to stabilize the
speaker and prevent it from slipping.
Place the center surround speaker at about the
same height as the front speakers (A). Align the
center surround speaker with the front speakers or
place it slightly back from the position of the front
speakers (B).
