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 Select2 CINEMA
,
THX
MUSICMODE
and
THX GAMES MODE
.

on page 52 to make the
settings that will give you the best sound experience
when using the Home THX modes (page 29).
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
