Setting Up

Placing the speakers

 

The product label on the back of each speaker indicates LEFT or RIGHT. For best acoustic 
performance, place the left speaker on the left side as you face the front of your room and 
place the right speaker on the right side of your room.

Keep the speakers 6 - 15 feet (1.8 - 6 m) apart and at least 12 inches (30 cm) from side walls 
(see Figure 3). 

It is important not to block the acoustic components at the rear of each speaker. To avoid 
this, place each speaker 10 inches (25 cm) from the wall behind it.
