Positioning the System
The following illustration shows an example of
positioning the system.
Note that the illustrations in these instructions
differ from the actual unit for explanation
purposes.
For the best possible surround sound, all the
speakers other than the subwoofer should be
placed at the same distance from the listening
position (

Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is
not so critical, because low bass sounds are
not highly directional. But it is better to place
the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn
it slightly toward the center of the room to
reduce the wall reflections.

CAUTION
• Be careful to make sure children do not put their
hands or any objects into the *subwoofer duct.
*subwoofer duct: A hole for plentiful bass sound
on subwoofer cabinet (enclosure).
• Place the centre speaker at a safe distance from
the child’s reach.
Otherwise it may result in the speaker falling
down and causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
• The speakers contain magnet parts, so colour
irregularity may occur on the TV screen or PC
monitor screen. Please use the speakers away
from the TV screen or PC monitor screen.
