The diagrams below show suggested surround and
surround back speaker orientation. The first diagram (

fig.

A

) shows orientation with one surround back speaker (or

none) connected. The second (

fig. B

) shows orientation

with two surround back speakers connected.

• If you have two surround back speakers THX

recommends placing them together and the same
distance from your listening position (see below).

THX speaker system setup

If you have a complete THX speaker system, follow the
diagram below to place your speakers. Note that the
surround speakers (

indicates bi-polar radiating

speakers) should output at an angle parallel to the
listener.

• If you have two surround back speakers THX

recommends placing them together and the same
distance from your listening position for the following
THX modes:

THX Select2 CINEMA

,

THX

MUSICMODE

and

THX GAMES MODE

.

on page 47 to make the

settings that will give you the best sound experience
when using the Home THX modes (on page 28).

Connecting antennas

The supplied antennas provide a simple way to listen to
AM and FM radio. If you find that reception quality is
poor, an outdoor antenna should give you better sound
quality—see

Connecting external antennas

below.

AM loop antenna

1

Assemble the stand as shown in the illustration.

• Bend the stand in the direction indicated (fig. A).

• Clip the loop into the stand (fig. B).

• It’s possible to fix the AM antenna to a wall (fig. C).

Before fixing, make sure that the reception is
satisfactory.

2

Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna

wires.

3

Press the

AM LOOP

antenna terminal tabs to open

and insert one wire into each terminal.

4

Release the tabs to secure the AM antenna wires.

5

Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and point in

the direction giving the best reception.

Avoid placing near computers, television sets or other
electrical appliances and do not let it come into contact
with metal objects.

Important

• The signal ground (

) is designed to reduce noise

that occurs when an antenna is connected. It is not
an electrical safety ground.
