Setting Up your System
Setting up Surround Sound
Connect all the speakers and set up the System properly in
order to enjoy the Home Cinema experience.
1
Place the FRONT Left and Right speakers at equal distances
from the TV and at a 45-degree angle from the listening posi-
tion.
2
Place the CENTER speaker above or below the TV to localize
the sound.
3
Place the REAR (Surround) speakers at normal listening ear
level, facing each other or mounted on the wall. Use the sup-
plied mounting brackets to mount speakers to the wall.
4
Place the Subwoofer on the floor, near the TV.
Notes:
– Connect the speaker wires correctly. Improper connec-
tions may short circuit the System.
– For optimal sound, use the supplied speakers.
– Do not connect more than one speaker to any pair of
speaker jacks on the System.
– Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than
6 ohms.
– Sit in your usual listening position to set up the speaker
balance.
– To avoid magnetic interference, do not place the FRONT
speakers too close to your TV.
– Placing the REAR (Surround) speakers farther from the
listening position than the FRONT and CENTER speak-
ers will weaken the Surround Sound effect.
– Secure all speakers to prevent accidents and improve
sound quality. Use the supplied mounting brackets to
mount speakers to a wall.
