Setting up the speakers
Before you connect the speakers, place each
speaker in its respective location. Speaker position-
ing is very important as it affects the overall sound
quality of the system. Place the speakers in loca-
tions that will optimize the sound quality at your
listening position. Refer to the illustration below.
The position of the subwoofer is not as critical as
the position of the other speakers because low bass
tones are not highly directional. Refer to “Position-
ing the subwoofer (SW-P240)” on page 4 for more
information.
Note:
These speakers are magnetically shielded.
However, if you place them too close to a TV, they
may impair picture color. In this case, move the
speakers further away from the TV.
Positioning the front and surround
speakers (NX-S120)
Front speakers:
Place the two front speakers on
the left and right sides of the TV, at approximately
the same height as the TV, facing directly forward.
Surround speakers:
Place the left and right
surround speakers behind your listening position,
facing slightly inward, about 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet)
above the floor.
Surround back speaker (for NS-P246 sys-
tems only):
Position the surround back speaker
behind your listening position, precisely between
the surround speakers, about 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet)
above the floor.
You can set the front, surround, and surround back
speakers on tables or other supports, or mount
them on a wall or speaker stand. (For more infor-
mation, see “Mounting the front and surround
speakers” on page 5.)
Non-skid pads:
When placing the speakers on a
flat surface, attach the included non-skid pads to
the corners of the speaker bottoms, as shown
above. The non-skid pads will prevent the speakers
from sliding.
