Caution
• These speaker terminals carry
HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage . To prevent
the risk of electric shock when connecting
or disconnecting the speaker cables,
disconnect the power cord before touching
any uninsulated parts.
• Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is
twisted together and inserted fully into the
speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker
wire touches the back panel it may cause
the power to cut off as a safety measure.
Hints on speaker placement
Speakers are usually designed with a
particular placement in mind. Some are
designed to be floorstanding, while others
should be placed on stands to sound their
best. Some should be placed near a wall;
others should be placed away from walls. We
have provided a few tips on getting the best
sound from your speakers (following), but you
should also follow the guidelines on
placement that
the speaker manufacturer
provided with your particular speakers to get
the most out of them.
• Place the front left and right speakers at
equal distances from the TV.
• When placing speakers near the TV, we
recommend using magnetically shielded
speakers to prevent possible interference,
such as discoloration of the picture when
the TV is switched on. If you do not have
magnetically shielded speakers and notice
discoloration of the TV picture, move the
speakers farther away from the TV.
• If you’re using a center speaker, place the
front speakers at a wider angle. If not,
place them at a narrower angle.
• Place the center speaker above or below
the TV so that the sound of the center
channel is localized at the TV screen.
• It is best to angle the speakers towards the
listening position. The angle depends on
the size of the room. Use less of an angle
for bigger rooms.
• Surround speakers should be positioned
60 cm to 90 cm higher than your ears and
titled slightly downward. Make sure the
speakers don’t face each other.
• To achieve the best possible surround
sound, install your speakers as shown next
page. Be sure all speakers are installed
securely to prevent accidents and improve
sound quality.
