Connecting Speakers
When mounting speakers on the wall, be sure to check the strength of
the wall before mounting. The weight the screws are able to support
differs depending on the material used for the wall and the position of
the wall supports. Make sure you use sturdy, long screws with a head
diameter of no more than 10 mm and a shaft diameter of no more
than 4 mm. (If you are unsure about which screws to use, ask a shop
assistant for advise.)
Speaker placement varies depending on the size of the room and the
wall coverings used in the room. The following describes a sample
layout for standard speaker placement and the functions of the
various speakers.
Even if you do not connect the speakers according to the illustration
below, you can set the amount of time it takes for sound to be
delivered from the various speakers by performing the procedure in
“Setting the Distance from the Listening Position to Each speaker”
(see page 34) to experience the best possible Surround sound. You
can also adjust the volume of each speaker as desired (see page 35).
(Do this after you have completed all connections.)
Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making
sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. In
movies it’s used mainly for dialog.
Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at
the same height as the front left and right speakers.
Put it somewhere where it won’t slide around or fall.
Front left and right speakers
Place these speakers facing the listener so that:
•
They are at the same, or nearly the same, height as the center
speaker.
• They are positioned facing toward the listening position and the
listener’s ears. Ideally, the speakers should be placed
symmetrically to the right and left.
Surround speakers
Place these speakers to the side or rear of the listener. The surround
speakers reproduce 3-dimensional sound motion, background sound
effects, and help create the sensation of being in the middle of the
action.
Subwoofer
The volume and quality of the bass output from your subwoofer will
depend on its position, the shape of your listening room, and your
listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by
installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the width of
the wall, as shown.
