Each speaker has different roles based on the types of sound each produces. This section explains the main role/s of each speaker and the
recommended speaker layout.
Center Speaker
Place on top of the TV or inside the TV rack so that the speaker
and TV are aligned vertically.
Main role: Produces sounds oriented toward the center of the
screen such as dialogues or vocal sounds.
Front Speakers (L, R)
Place the front left/right speakers on both sides of your TV at
equal distances.
Main roles: Produces front channel (stereo) sounds and effect
sounds.
Surround Speakers (L, R)
Place the surround left/right speakers behind the listening
position. (We recommend placing them at a height of 1.8 m
(6 feet) and pointing them at the listening position.)
Main roles: Produces surround sounds and effect sounds.
Subwoofer
Place the subwoofer near a front speaker and turn it slightly
toward the center of the room to reduce wall reflections.
Main roles: Produces bass sounds and low frequency (LFE)
sounds contained in Dolby Digital or DTS.
• If the speakers interfere with TV reception, noises may appear on the TV screen. In such a case, move the speakers a little away from
the TV.
• Bass sounds produced by the subwoofer may be heard differently depending on the listening position and subwoofer location.
To enjoy desired sounds, try to change the location of the subwoofer according to the listening position.
To enjoy quality sounds thoroughly, you need to place the speakers in their appropriate positions and install them correctly. After
deciding the speaker layout (see “Roles and Layout of Speakers” above), follow the procedure below to install the speakers.
When placing the center speaker on top of the TV, use the
supplied fasteners to secure the speaker.
• Do not place the speaker on the TV if the top of the TV is not
level or if it is narrower than the bottom surface of the speaker.
Doing so may cause the speaker to fall. In this case, place the
speaker inside a TV rack or on a level floor.
• Before attaching the fasteners to the TV, clean the surface with a
dry cloth. A dirty or wet surface may weaken the adhesive force
and cause the speaker to fall.
• Do not touch the bonding surfaces of the fasteners after peeling
off the seals. Doing so may weaken the adhesive force and
cause the speaker to fall.
