Placing the CFS-200
Left and Right
Speakers

• Place the speakers to each side

of your TV screen, near ear level.

• For the best stereo effect, place

the speakers at least 2 ft from

the side of the TV, but not so far

from it that the ‘size’ of the

sound image is much larger than

the size of the TV picture image.

• To enhance the stereo effect

(especially if they are more than

8 feet apart) angle each speaker

slightly toward the listening area.

• For the smoothest match

between the subwoofer and the

left and right speakers, place the

3 of them in an imaginary straight

line with each other.

• Since the front speakers are

magnetically shielded, you can

place them close to a TV without

worrying about picture distortion.

Placing the CFS-200
Center speaker

• Place the center speaker above

or below the middle of the TV

or video screen.

• Since the speaker is magnetically

shielded, you can place it on top

of a TV without worrying about

picture discoloration.

• Make sure that the speaker is

aimed directly toward the listen-

ers at seated ear level. If you

place it above or below ear level,

tilt it down or up to aim it

toward the listeners.

• Make sure the center speaker is

as close as possible to the same

height as the left and right speak-

ers. Never place it so there is

more than a 2 foot height differ-

ence between the center and the

left and right speakers.

Placing the RS-05
Surround speakers

• Place the surround speakers

directly to the sides of the listen-

ing position, pointing at the

listeners—this is where they

work best.

• Mount the speakers at least 2

feet above the listeners’ heads,

with the back of the cabinet (the

side with the speaker connector)

flush against the wall. You can

hang the speakers on the wall

using ordinary picture hangers.

The speakers can be oriented

either vertically or horizontally.

• To set the speaker on a shelf,

insert the supplied shelf-mount

bracket into the holes on the

rear of the speaker.

• If the listening area is more than

1 row deep, place the speakers

halfway back along the sides of

the listening area.
