Instructions for Placing Speakers
(Left, Right, Center and Surround Channels)
Left and Right FRONT Channel Speakers CENTER Channel Speakers
SUBWOOFER
1. Place one speaker on each side of your TV. It is best
to position them aimed at the listening position and
at ear level height (while seated). A shelf, table,
or other furniture will work but ideally you should
consider using speaker stands. Sony makes speaker
stands that are designed to work with your new
speakers. The optional Sony speaker stands
WS-FV10A/S (silver) and WS-FV10A/B (black)
can be purchased from your Sony dealer or on-line
at www.SonyStyle.com.
4. The placement of your subwoofer will have an effect
on its performance. Sometimes the most convenient
location might not yield the best performance.
Different placements within your room will yield
different sounding bass. For instance, if you place
your subwoofer near a wall or corner of your room, it
will sound “boomier” than if you place it away from
walls and corners. Ultimately, you may have to place
your subwoofer for convenience or to accommodate
room aesthetics. You may also need to purchase a
longer shielded RCA cable to place your subwoofer in
the position that you prefer. Experiment with different
subwoofer placements once you get your system
connected and running. For now, place the subwoofer
no further than six feet from the receiver location.
3. Place one speaker to the left, either behind the
listening area (Placement A on diagram) or on the
wall to the sides of the listening area (Placement B
on diagram). Place the other speaker to the right
of the listening position in the exact opposite of the
left channel speaker. We recommend placing the
surround speakers above the listening position.
(Please see the Operating Instructions that came
with your system for additional speaker placement
recommendations.) Your Sony speakers can
accommodate wall mounting. The optional WS-WV10
wall mount brackets can be purchased from your
Sony dealer or on-line at www.SonyStyle.com. If it is
not possible to install these speakers on your wall,
you can place them on shelves, tables, or other
furniture. You may also use the optional Sony speaker
stands that are designed to work with your new
speakers. The optional Sony speaker stands WS-
FV10A/S (silver) and WS-FV10A/B (black) can be
purchased from your Sony dealer or on-line at
www.SonyStyle.com.
2. Place the Center Channel speaker on top of your TV
and center it between the outside edges. If you are
not able to do this, place this speaker below the
screen either in the TV stand or on a short speaker
stand. If all of the speakers in your system are
identical, choose one of them for your Center Channel
speaker. Ideally the Center Channel speaker should be
aimed at your listening position. If you placed your
speaker on top of your TV, you may need to aim it
slightly down toward your listening position (seated).
Caution! Tilting the center channel speaker too far
forward may cause it to become unstable. If you
placed this speaker below the TV, you may need to
aim it up slightly at your listening position (seated).
