Technicolor - Thomson DPL900VD - Manual (Page 11)

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.
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. It is therefore recommended to connect sub-
woofers when small speakers are used.
Magnetic shielding
Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be
magnetically shielded in order to prevent picture distor-
tion. Front and center speakers provided with DPL900VD
are magnetically shielded to protect your TV set.
It is not recommended to place the rear speakers 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 mid- and high-frequency drivers of the three front
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.
