Placement Guidelines
The center channel keeps musical or soundtrack information centered in the
listening area. Therefore, its placement relative to the left and right speakers is
critical.
Place the speaker on top of or beneath your TV with its front edge as forward
as practical. Try to keep the front of the speaker flush with the front of the
screen.
Place the CR.5mk2 no higher or lower than 2 feet (60cm) of your left and
right speakers. If you need to place the speaker any higher or lower, angle it
toward ear level.
Attaching the Felt Bumpers
Four (4) felt bumpers are included with the CR.5mk2. Stick them to the bot-
tom of the speaker cabinet to protect the finish on your TV.
