• To achieve the best possible surround sound, install
your speakers as shown below. Be sure all speakers
are installed securely to prevent accidents and
improve sound quality.
Caution
• Make sure that all speakers are securely installed.
This not only improves sound quality, but also
reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from
speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of
external shocks such as earthquakes.
The diagrams below show suggested surround and
surround back speaker orientation. The first diagram (
fig.
A
) shows orientation with one surround back speaker (or
none) connected. The second ( fig. B ) shows orientation
with two surround back speakers connected.
• If you have two surround back speakers THX
recommends placing them together and the same
distance from your listening position (see below).
THX speaker system setup
If you have a complete THX speaker system, follow the
diagram below to place your speakers. Note that the
surround speakers ( indicates bi-polar radiating
speakers) should output at an angle parallel to the
listener.
• If you have two surround back speakers THX
recommends placing them together and the same
distance from your listening position for the following
THX modes:
THX Ultra2 CINEMA , THX Ultra2
MUSIC and THX Ultra2 GAMES .

on page 58 to make the
settings that will give you the best sound experience
when using the Home THX modes (page 37).
Connecting antennas
The supplied antennas provide a simple way to listen to
AM and FM radio. If you find that reception quality is
poor, an outdoor antenna should give you better sound
quality—see
Connecting external antennas
