How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points:
Place speakers on flat secure bases.
•
Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with
•
thick curtains.
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.
•

Note:
The above setup illustration is a basic overview on what to expect when hooking speakers up to your home theater system. The
placement may vary depending on how many and what type of loudspeakers you have, as well as your room size, shaper, and
acoustical properties.
