Placing Your Speakers
Proper speaker placement is essential to realize the best sound from your system. The diagram and tips
given here are just a rough guide, for more information see page 102. Also, it is very important for speaker
placement to read the instructions that come with your speakers so please be sure to do so.
Speaker placement
If you have a multiple speaker arrangement the placement of the speakers is extremely important. To
achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below. Make sure all speakers
are installed securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality. Be sure to consult p.102 and your
speaker manuals for the best placement of the speakers. Some speakers are designed to be floor-
standing but others benefit greatly from speaker stands which raise them off the floor.
CAUTION:
When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be
sure to secure it with suitable means.
memo
• When installing speakers near the
TV, we recommend using
magnetically shielded speakers to
prevent possible interference such
as distortion in the color of the TV
screen. If you do not have
magnetically shielded speakers
and notice discoloration of the TV
screen, place the speakers farther
away from the TV.
• Install the center speaker above or
below the TV so that the sound of
the center channel is localized at
the TV screen.
• See page 102 for more detailed
advice on speaker placement.
• If you have two surround back
speakers we recommend placing
them together and the same
distance from your listening
position so you can take
advantage of the ASA feature. For
more details see pages 97 and
101.
