PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING
SUBWOOFER
Sound spreads in all directions in the very low frequency range.
Human hearing cannot easily detect the source of very low
frequencies. Be sure to provide a space of at least 8 inches
(20cm) between the rear of the subwoofer and the nearest wall.
FRONT SPEAKERS
For best results the loudspeakers should be separated a distance
approximately equal to the listening distance. Angling the
loudspeakers inward towards the listener will improve the image
stability for non-central listeners. Close proximity to a side or
rear wall will enhance the midbass performance, although too
close (particularly a corner location) and the bass may be
unnaturally high and image performance may be degraded.
CENTER SPEAKER
The loudspeaker should be positioned below the TV. For best
results align the front of the loudspeaker with the front of the TV. If
the loudspeaker is placed under the TV and very close to the
floor, then tilting upwards may be beneficial.
When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to
secure it with tape or some other suitable means. Otherwise, the
speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as
earthquakes, endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.
SURROUND SPEAKERS
For best results the loudspeaker should be positioned near ear
level (S-FCR3700 only).
STANDARD SURROUND SETUP
This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker setup
for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.
CAUTION:
• Do not connect this speaker to any amplifier other than
the one supplied with this system. Connection to any other
amplifier may result in a malfunction or a fire.
• Do not attach the subwoofer, front and surround speakers
to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury (S-
FCR4700 only).
• Do not attach the subwoofer and front speakers to the
wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury
(SFCR3700 only).
CONNECTING YOUR SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
