Positioning For Optimal Surround Sound
This speaker system can provide full Surround sound. To enjoy
the full effect of the Surround sound field, please position the
speakers as described below.
• Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV.
Angle the speakers towards the listening area to enhance
the stereo effect.
• Place the center speaker on the center between the front
left and right speakers. Tilt the speaker upward or down-
ward so that it is directly facing the listening area.
• Place the surround speakers as high as possible, either
directly to the sides of the listening area or else slightly
behind the listening area. Adjust the angles so that these
speakers are facing directly towards the listeners.
• Place the surround back speaker (option) behind the listining
position, at the same height as the left and right surround

About Using Speakers Near a TV
This speaker include magnetic shielding and can therefore be installed close to a TV set. Note, however, that placing speakers too
close to a TV may in some cases produces distortion in the color reception. In such case, turn on the TV and check that color
reproduction is normal. If color is distorted, turn the TV off for 15 to 30 minutes, then turn it back on and check again. (This allows
the TV’s degaussing circuitry to correct for the magnetic field from the speakers.) If distortion is still present, move the speakers
further from the TV.
