Technicolor - Thomson SCENIUM DPL5000 - Manual (Page 5)

Getting Started
Positioning your speaker
1 Left, Right (Front Speakers)
They carry primarily music and sound effects
2 Center
In surround mode, the center speaker carries much of
the dialogue as well as music and effects. It should be
set between the left and right speakers.
3 Surround (Rear Speakers)
Their overall sound balance should be as close as
possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital
to establish an evenly distributed sound field.
4 Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low
bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.)
which dramatically heightens involvement with the
action on the screen.
Magnetic shielding
Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must
be magnetically shielded in order to prevent picture
distortion. Front and center speakers provided with this
unit are magnetically shielded to protect your TV set.
It is not recommended to place the rear speakers and
subwoofer near the TV set.
Front Speaker Placement
Even if you can't duplicate this ideal home theater setup
exactly, the suggestions for speaker placement that
follow will help you get good results.
Alignment
Align the center speaker evenly with (A), or slightly
behind (B), the left and right speakers, but not ahead of
them.
Advanced Setting
Angle
Placing the left and right speakers to form a 45-degree
angle with your favorite viewing position will duplicate
the soundtrack mixer's perspective.
Height
The three speakers should be as close as possible to the
same height. This often requires placing the center
speaker directly atop (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.

Getting Started
Connecting the Speakers
Speakers
There are 6 speakers equipped with the unit (2 front, 1
center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). In order to enjoy good
surround effects, all six speakers need to be
connected to the receiver.
At least two front speakers (left and right) are required.
For better sound quality, Center speaker, rear speakers
and Subwoofer should also be connected. Adding center
and rear speakers will enhance surround effects. Adding
a Subwoofer will increase bass response.
If you want to enjoy the full sound range, use the
subwoofer with the speakers to maintain adequate bass
signal.
Speaker wires
One for each speaker, is needed for connection. Press
down on the tab to open the terminal and insert the
wire. Release tab to lock wire in the terminal.
Speaker Polarity
When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities
of speaker wires and terminals are matched (“+”
speaker wire to “+” on the receiver). If the wires are
reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass
(“out of phase” effect).
Connecting the Subwoofer
Connect the subwoofer with the speaker wire provided.
