Speaker Setup
To obtain the best surround sound effect in your home,
place the speakers as follows :
• Front speakers: Place each front speaker on each side of
your TV symmetrically so that total
distance between left and right speaker
is no less than 7 feet (2.4 m), with 8-10
feet (2.4 m - 3 m) being best. You can
use included metal stand to place the
speaker on a flat surface. The stand
should be firmly inserted in the provided
slots in the speaker's rear panel. Insert
the stand in corresponding slots for
vertical (front or rear speakers) or
horizontal (center channel speaker)
positioning.
• Center speaker: Place the center speaker either above or
below the TV set to assure good
localization of center channel program.
• Rear speakers: Place rear speakers slightly behind the
listening position angled in toward the
listener, at about 30 degrees (see
diagram). Ideally the speakers should be
positioned symmetrically. The angle
should be calculated between the
direction to the side of the listening place
to the direction on the rear speaker.The
other way to position the rear speakers
correctly is to make sure that the angle
between them is about 120 degrees.
• Reproduction of all movies and music multichannel formats requires all five speakers and subwoofer.
Reproduction of stereo program requires left and right front speakers and subwoofer only.
When the center speaker or the rear speakers are closer to the listener than the front speakers, the sound from the center
speaker or the rear speakers can arrive at the listener’s ears earlier than the sound from the front speakers.
In this case, the imaging is not as sharp and stable as it could be.
For audible improvement, the sound from center speaker can be delayed with the center delay time setting, so that sound
from the front and the center speakers will be heard at the same time. The sound from the rear speakers can be also
delayed, using the rear delay time setting, so that the sound from the front and the rear speakers will also be heard at the
same time. The optimum delay time will vary according to room size and acoustic properties.
• Delay is adjustable in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II or Dolby Pro Logic mode. (For details, refer to “Adjusting delay
times of speakers in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II or Dolby Pro Logic Mode” on page 18)
Delay time
ENGLISH
• Subwoofer: Subwoofer is required to reproduce low (bass) notes. The rear panel contains main controls of the
subwoofer. Power ON/OFF switch turns the unit on or off. Phase 0-180 allows to adjust subwoofers phase.
We recommended 0 degrees setting in most cases. If your subwoofer is located further than 5 feet from the
nearest satellite speaker than try switching to 180 degrees to see if you can get a fuller bass in that position.
Auto/ON switch allows either keeping subwoofer ON at all times (ON), or engage a signal sensing network
(Auto) that keeps the subwoofer in stand-by mode if you don't use it and turns it ON automatically when
program starts playing. Volume control is located on the frontal panel. We recommended starting from low
levels and keep adjusting volume until you get a balanced sound and seamless integration between
subwoofer and satellie speakers.
You can place the rear speakers on corner tables or other support using the included stands. You can
also mount them on side or rear wall. The optimum wall mounting height of rear speakers is about
40" (1m), but you can mount them slightly higher of needed.
