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 (page 28).
Connecting antennas
Connect the AM loop antenna and the FM wire antenna
as shown below. To improve reception and sound quality,
connect external antennas (see
Connecting external
antennas below).
1 Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna
wires.
2 Push open the tabs, then insert one wire fully into
each terminal, then release the tabs to secure the AM
antenna wires.
3 Fix the AM loop antenna to the attached stand.
To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction
indicated by the arrow (
fig. a) then clip the loop onto the
stand ( fig. b).
• If you plan to mount the AM antenna to a wall or other
surface, secure the stand with screws ( fig. c) before
clipping the loop to the stand. Make sure the
reception is clear.
4 Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and in a
direction giving the best reception.
5 Connect the FM wire antenna in the same way as
the AM loop antenna.
For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a
wall or door frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled up.
