Setup
Setup tips
• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free of
dust.
• Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in
direct sunlight.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the cables or the
speakers.
The following information refers to an “ideal home cin-
ema”, in which the viewer and/or listener sits in a central
position at suffi cient distance in front of the television
and/or screen (see graphic on the right) and no objects
(tables or the like) are located in between. Unfortunately,
the room, furnishings or one’s partner do not always al-
low for optimum arrangement.
Just follow this general rule: Always experiment on what
works best in your listening room in terms of sound and
appearance based on our recommendations. Let your
ears (and eyes) be the judge!
Center speakers
Place the center speaker
햳
on its support foot
햴
in an
intermediate position under the monitor and/or screen.
Front speakers
The front speakers are set up to the right and left of
the screen or hung at a height of approximately 40 to
120 cm. They should be in line with the center speaker
and form an equilateral triangle with the listener – the
so called stereo triangle (distance from the listener =
distance between the speakers). The speakers should
project sound directly into the room or slightly towards
the listener.
Rear speakers
The rear speakers are set up or hung at head level to the
side (a) or behind (b) the listener and directed towards
the listener. The distance from the listener should be at
least 100 cm and the distance to the back wall of the
room should be at least 10 cm.
Subwoofer
You should position the subwoofer on the fl oor close to
the television. A location somewhere between the front
speakers is quite common.
Control unit
The separate control unit
햶
contains the receiver for the
remote control signals. Therefore you should set up the
control unit so that it is visible from your sitting position.
The system cable to the subwoofer is approximately 5
metres in length.
