•
The 4 satellite speakers and the center speaker should be placed approximately the same distance from your
listening position.
•
The center speaker should be placed directly above (or below) the TV set. The left and right front speakers
should be approximately at the same height as the center speaker.
•
The rear speakers should be either in line with, or behind your listening position, approximately at ear level, or
slightly above.
•
The subwoofer (main set) should be on the floor near the TV, or in any corner, but remember you need a clear
path to your remote (don’t block this set with a curtain).
•
All speakers must be visible. Do not hide them behind curtains, furniture, etc, as this will affect the sound.
•
You may only place the center speaker (blue wire) or the front speakers (red wires) near or above the TV set
because these speakers are magnetically shielded.
•
We have provided one keyhole opening on the backs of all the satellite speakers that allow the satellite speakers
to be wall mounted in a vertical position.
Proper positioning and placement of the speakers and the subwoofer are important to provide the best surround sound experience,
for optimal listening experience, position them as below.
NOTE: You may only place the CENTER speaker (blue wire) or the FRONT speakers (red wires) on or near your TV set or
computer monitor. These speakers have magnetic shielding inside. If you put the REAR speakers near your TV set or
computer monitor, the colors on your TV or computer monitor may change due to magnetism.
To avoid short-circuiting the speakers
Make sure the stripped end of each speaker wire does not touch another speaker terminal or the stripped end of another speaker wire.
Examples of poor connection of the speaker wires
LOOSE WIRE STRAND TOUCHING (This will short out the sound)
• Stripped wires are touching each other due to excessive removal of
insulation. Do not allow the above to happen on your set.
WIRES SHORTED TO EACH OTHER (This will short out the sound)
MAKE SURE THE ABOVE DOES NOT HAPPEN
• Stripped speaker wire is touching another set terminal.
Make sure not even 1 strand of wire touches the other wire!
NOTE: If longer wires are needed, you may buy any good quality speaker wire and splice the wires yourself. Please make sure the
wires are not shorting to each other and observe the correct color polarity. Many speaker wires have a dotted line or solid line
or raised rib on one side to identify each side. Also make sure you use electrical tape to cover your splices.
