Rear Surround Speakers
The.Surround.Speakers.may.
be.placed.either.above,.behind.
or.to.the.sides.of.the.listening.
position..The.listening.position.
should.be.centered.between.
the.surround.speakers..For.best.
performance,.you.may.want.to.
experiment.with.angling.the.sur-
round.speakers.either.towards.or.
away.from.the.listening.position.
Subwoofer
Placement.of.the.subwoofer.
will.largely.determine.quality,.
quantity,.and.extension.of.the.
bass.frequencies.within.your.
listening.room..Bass.frequen-
cies.are.reinforced.by.close.
room.boundaries..Placing.the.
subwoofer.in.a.corner.will.make.
the.subwoofer.sound.louder.and.
boost.the.very.lowest.frequen-
cies..Placing.the.subwoofer.
away.from.walls.will.provide.
the.least.reinforcement,.making.
the.bass.sound.subjectively.
thinner.than.if.the.woofer.were.
close.to.a.wall..Good.results.can.
usually.be.obtained.by.placing.
a.subwoofer.along.a.wall.1-3.
feet.from.a.corner..Experiment.
with.subwoofer.placement.and.
the.amplifier.controls.to.achieve.
the.proper.bass.balance..
Break-in Period
Speakers.are.mechanical.as.
well.as.electrical.devices..Much.
in.the.same.way.automobile.
engines.need.break-in.mile-
age.before.performing.their.
best,.audio.speakers.need.to.
be.broken.in.before.their.true.
sonic.qualities.become.appar-
ent..This.is.especially.true.of.
higher.quality.speakers,.such.
as.those.you.have.purchased..
Plan.on.giving.your.speak-
ers.several.hours.of.playing.
time.to.adequately.break-in..
As.the.speaker.breaks.in,.the.
driver.suspension.will.loosen.up.
resulting.in.an.increase.in.low.
frequency.response,.improved.
definition,.clarity.and.detail..
