Speaker Positioning Information
Your system is supplied with 5 compact sized satellite
speakers and one subwoofer. The satellite speakers
reproduce only the mid range and higher frequencies. All
of the low frequency (bass) sounds are produced by the
subwoofer. Proper positioning and placement of the
speakers is important in order to provide the best
surround sound experience. We understand that due to
the size and shape of your listening room, and the location
of your furniture, you may not be able to set up the
speakers exactly as per the diagrams that follow. However
these simple guidelines will help you maximize your home
theatre experience.
Although all 5 satellite speakers are the same size, the
speaker cables are different lengths. The speaker cables
are also color coded to match the color-coded speaker
terminals on the back panel of the main unit. Refer to
the connection diagram page for additional information.
For best surround effects all 5 of the satellite speakers
should be roughly the same distance from your usual
listening position.
Typical Speaker Set Up
All 5 satellite speakers approximately same distance from your listening position.
Center speaker directly above (or below) TV screen. Left and right front speakers at same height as center speaker.
Rear speakers either in line with, or behind listening position, approximately at ear level, or slightly above, when seated.
Subwoofer on floor near TV, or in corner, facing the listening position.
All speakers must be visible. Do not hide behind curtains, furniture, etc, as this will affect the sound.
Position all 5 satellite speakers approxmately same distance
from your listening position.
