Rear Speakers

Place these speakers behind your listening position.

If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each
other.

Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear, facing
slightly downward.

*

Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used
to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from
them all the time.

Subwoofer

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical.
Place it anywhere you like.

Front Speakers  

Place these speakers in front of your listening
position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.

Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at
the same height as your ear.

Align the front face of the front speakers with the
front face of the center speaker or place them
slightly in front of the center speakers.

Center Speaker

It is best to install it at the same height as the front
speakers.

You can also install it directly over or under the TV.

Position of the Home Theater

Place it on a stand, cabinet shelf, or under the
TV stand.

Selecting the Listening Position

The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3
times the distance of the TV's screen size away from the
TV. Example: For 32" TVs 2~2.4m (6~8 feet)

For 55" TVs 3.5~4m (11~13 feet)

Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
