The center channel speaker may

be used with either of its two stands
(Monitor Stand or Center Desktop
Stand). It can be attached directly to
the top of a monitor.

The Monitor Stand attaches with

hook and loop fasteners to the top
of the computer monitor. It directs
the sound down towards the
listener (see 

Diagram C

).

If your computer monitor’s

construction directs the sound of
the center channel satellite towards
you (without a stand), attach the

satellite directly to the top of the
monitor, using the hook and loop
fasteners (see 

Diagram D

). Position

the face of the center channel so
that it is as far forward as possible.

The Center Desktop Stand lets

you place the Center Speaker in
front of the monitor. It directs the
sound up towards the listener
(see 

Diagram E

).

The Center Speaker may also be

hung on the wall behind the
monitor using the screw and wall
anchors provided (see “Mounting
The Speakers”, page 7).

The Rear Satellites.

 The rear

satellites provide the surround
effects in Dolby Digital, Dolby
Surround and Creative Multi
Speaker Surround modes. They
also provide the discrete rear
sounds produced in four
channel gaming.

4 meters (12 feet) of cable is

provided with the two remaining
small satellites for more flexibility in
rear channel placement.

The rear satellites may be placed

in any convenient sites alongside
the listener, including sites slightly
forward of the listening location.
The rear satellites do not have to be

at exactly the same height, nor at
the same height as the front
satellites.

If you have side walls close to

your listening position, excellent
placement for the rear satellites is
slightly behind your listening
position, slightly above ear level
(see 

Diagram F

). The satellites may

be hung on the wall using the screw
and wall anchors provided (see
“Mounting The Speakers”, page 7).

Do not be concerned if this

placement is not practical. Any rear
satellite placement to the left and
right side of the listening position
will provide strong directional and
surround effects.
