Some tips for improving sound quality
Whe
r
e you
p
ut you
r
s
p
eake
r
s in the
r
oom has a big effect
on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines
should hel
p
you to get the best sound f
r
om you
r
system.
• The subwoofe
r
can be
p
laced on the floo
r
. Ideally, the
othe
r
s
p
eake
r
s should be at about ea
r
-level when
you’
r
e listening to them. Putting the s
p
eake
r
s on the
floo
r
(exce
p
t the subwoofe
r
), o
r
mounting them ve
r
y
high on a wall is not
r
ecommended.
• Fo
r
the best ste
r
eo effect,
p
lace the f
r
ont s
p
eake
r
s 2
m to 3 m (6 ft. to 9 ft.) a
p
a
r
t, at equal distance f
r
om
the TV.
• If you’
r
e using a cente
r
s
p
eake
r
,
p
lace the f
r
ont
s
p
eake
r
s at a wide
r
angle. If not,
p
lace them at a
na
rr
owe
r
angle.
• Place the cente
r
s
p
eake
r
above o
r
below the TV so
that the sound of the cente
r
channel is localized at
the TV sc
r
een. Also, make su
r
e the cente
r
s
p
eake
r
does not c
r
oss the line fo
r
med by the leading edge of
the f
r
ont left and
r
ight s
p
eake
r
s.
• It is best to angle the s
p
eake
r
s towa
r
ds the listening
p
osition. The angle de
p
ends on the size of the
r
oom.
Use less of an angle fo
r
bigge
r
r
ooms.
• Su
rr
ound and su
rr
ound back s
p
eake
r
s should be
p
ositioned 60 cm to 90 cm (2 ft. to 3 ft.) highe
r
than
you
r
ea
r
s and tilted slight downwa
r
d. Make su
r
e the
s
p
eake
r
s don’t face each othe
r
. Fo
r
DVD-Audio, the
s
p
eake
r
s should be mo
r
e di
r
ectly behind the listene
r
than fo
r
home theate
r
p
layback.
• If the su
rr
ound s
p
eake
r
s cannot be set di
r
ectly to the
side of the listening
p
osition with a 7.1-channel
system, the su
rr
ound effect can be enhanced by
tu
r
ning off the U
p
Mix function (see
Setting the Up
Mix function
on
p
age 62).
• T
r
y not to
p
lace the su
rr
ound s
p
eake
r
s fa
r
the
r
away
f
r
om the listening
p
osition than the f
r
ont and cente
r
s
p
eake
r
s. Doing so can weaken the su
rr
ound sound
effect.
