The diagrams below show suggested surround and 
surround back speaker orientation. The first diagram (

fig. 

A

) shows orientation with one surround back speaker (or 

none) connected. The second (

fig. B

) shows orientation 

with two surround back speakers connected.

• If you have two surround back speakers THX 

recommends placing them together and the same 
distance from your listening position (see below).

THX speaker system setup

If you have a complete THX speaker system, follow the 
diagram below to place your speakers. Note that the 
surround speakers (

 indicates bi-polar radiating 

speakers) should output at an angle parallel to the 
listener.

• If you have two surround back speakers THX 

recommends placing them together and the same 
distance from your listening position for the following 
THX modes: 

THX Select2 CINEMA

THX 

MUSICMODE

 and 

THX GAMES MODE

See also 

THX Audio Setting

 on page 45 to make the 

settings that will give you the best sound experience 
when using the Home THX modes (on page 27).

Connecting antennas

The supplied antennas provide a simple way to listen to 
AM and FM radio. If you find that reception quality is 
poor, an outdoor antenna should give you better sound 
quality—see 

Connecting external antennas

 below.

AM loop antenna

1

Assemble the stand as shown in the illustration.

• Bend the stand in the direction indicated (fig. A).

• Clip the loop into the stand (fig. B).

• It’s possible to fix the AM antenna to a wall (fig. C). 

Before fixing, make sure that the reception is 
satisfactory.

2

Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna 

wires.

3

Press the AM LOOP antenna terminal tabs to open 

and insert one wire into each terminal.

4

Release the tabs to secure the AM antenna wires.

5

Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and point in 

the direction giving the best reception.

Avoid placing near computers, television sets or other 
electrical appliances and do not let it come into contact 
with metal objects.
