Setting up the speakers
Before you connect the speakers, place each
speaker in its respective location. Speaker
positioning is very important as it affects the
overall sound quality of the system. Place the
speakers in locations that will optimize the sound
quality at your listening position. Refer to the
illustration below.
The position of the subwoofer is not as critical as
the position of the other speakers because low bass
tones are not highly directional. Refer to
“Positioning the subwoofer (SW-P270)” on page 4
for more information.
Note: These speakers are magnetically shielded.
However, if you place them too close to a TV, they
may impair picture color. In this case, move the
speakers further away from the TV.
Positioning the front and surround
speakers (NX-E270)
Front speakers:
Place the two front speakers on
the left and right sides of the TV, at approximately
the same height as the TV, facing directly forward.
Surround speakers: Place the left and right
surround speakers behind your listening position,
facing slightly inward, about 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet)
above the floor.
Surround back speaker (for NS-P276
systems only):
Position the surround back
speaker behind your listening position, precisely
between the surround speakers, about 1.8 m
(approx. 6 feet) above the floor.
You can set the front, surround, and surround back
speakers on tables or other supports, or mount
them on a wall or speaker stand. (For more
information, see “Mounting the front and surround
speakers” on page 5.)
Non-skid pads:
When placing the speakers on a
flat surface, attach the included non-skid pads to
the corners of the speaker bottoms, as shown
above. The non-skid pads will prevent the speakers
from sliding.
