Basic Setup
Setting up the surround sound system
You must connect all the speakers and setup the
system properly in order to enjoy the digital cinema
experience at home.
Note: Use the test tone mode to check the balance
level and connections of your speakers. (Refer to page
_____).
Position
For the best possible surround sound, normally all the
speakers other than the subwoofer should be placed
the same distance from the listening position.
This system allows you to place the center speaker up
to 4 feet closer
B , and the rear speakers up to 16 feet
closer C to the listening position. The front speakers
can be placed from 3 to 45 feet A from the listening
position.
It is best to place the subwoofer near a corner to
maximize the bass output.
