Assembly and Installation
The front and surround speakers should be placed at approximately the same distance from the listening position. The angles in the
diagram are approximate.
Front speakers (including center channel)
(

,
right:
SB-FC1010R
)
• Put the front speakers on either side of the television. This system incorporates a center speaker in each of its front speakers.
• It may be hard for the intended effect to be achieved under some listening and viewing conditions and with some of the playback sources.
• The effect will not be satisfactorily yielded if the left front speaker is installed on the right and the right front speaker on the left.
• The sound quality will not be satisfactorily yielded if the center speakers are hidden from the listener’s view.
• Do not position the front speakers so that they face outward or overly inward.
Place them so that they are facing more or less straight ahead.
Surround speakers
(

,

)
• Put the surround speakers to the side of or slightly behind the seating area.
• An angle of 60º to 90º is recommended to enjoy music.
Active subwoofer
(

SB-WA1010
)
• Place it at least 50 mm (2") from the wall as it has a bass reflex port in the rear.
• Depending on speaker location, the low-range frequency characteristics will vary. When placed in the corner of a room, the volume
will increase accordingly.
Do not attach the subwoofer to walls or ceilings.
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points.
• Place them on a flat, level secure surface. Use spacers or similar items to stop them from rocking.
• Placing speakers too close to walls, and corners can result in excessive bass.
• Cover walls and windows with a thick curtain.
• Do not place anything on top of the subwoofer.
Keep your speakers at least 10mm (13/32") away from the system for proper ventilation.
Recommendations for Wall Mounted speakers
The front left and right ELS loudspeakers should be at least 1.8 m (70 inches/5 feet,
10 inches) apart.
or a minimum of 254 mm (10 inches) from the edge of your 1.3 m (50 inches) or larger flat
panel display. This is so you experience wide stereo imaging and minimize acoustic
reflections from the edge of the display.
Do not place the wall-mounted speakers higher than your ear position.
