Chapter 1: Connections and Setup
Positioning your Speakers
Your system is equipped with Dolby Digital and DTS (Digital Theater System) decoding, which enables the unit to reproduce sound effects as they were
intended. However, the speakers must be properly positioned and balanced. In order to enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS-enhanced sound quality, six
speakers are recommended: One center speaker, left and right main speakers, rear left and right speakers, and a subwoofer. A subwoofer is
recommended to enjoy improved bass effects. Below are a few suggestions for the set up:
1. The two main speakers should be set between six and ten feet apart. Putting them any closer or farther apart may result in reduced separation of
the surround sound effects.
2. Try to align the center speaker and two main speakers, or set the center speaker slightly behind the left and right main speakers, otherwise the
sound separation may be affected.
3. Aim the rear speakers directly at the two main speakers, matching height to height. If the room is sparsely decorated, slightly tilt the speakers
down to increase sound quality. If the room is densely decorated, face the speakers towards the rear wall at the ceiling. For more information on
speaker setup, please refer to Connecting the Speakers on the next page.
4. You can increase or decrease the bass effects by moving the subwoofer closer or farther away from a wall or corner of the room. (You may want
to experiment with this until you get the sound you want.)

Here is an example of how you could position your speakers.
There are many possible options, and you may want to
