Installation
• Align the speaker with the front of the TV screen (not pushed to the back of the TV).
• Direct each cube speaker slightly away from center, to create a wider area of direct sound.
Note:
If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place each one at the front edge
of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of the sound.
This effect is minimized if the shelves are filled with books.
Surround speakers
Surround speakers create an atmosphere of sound around the listener. Place them in the
back half of your room (Figure 6).
• Place the speakers at ear height or higher, if possible.
• Adjust them to direct the sound both in front of and behind the listener.
