System Configuration

ENGLISH
Surround speakers should be placed on
the side walls of the room, at or slightly
behind the listening position. The center
of bidirectional speakers should face into
the room with the active speaker drivers
pointing towards the front and rear of the
room The speakers should be located so
that the bottom of the cabinet is at least
60 cm higher than the listeners’ ears
when in the desired area.
If side wall mounting is not practical, the
speakers may be placed on a rear wall,
behind the listening position. Again, they
should be located so that the bottom of
the cabinet is at least 60 cm higher than
the listeners’ ears. The speakers should be
no more than two meters behind the rear
of the seating area.
Subwoofers produce non-directional
sound, so they may be placed almost
anywhere in a room. Subwoofer
placement is highly influenced by room
size and shape, and the type of subwoofer
used. Follow the instructions of the
subwoofer’s manufacturer, or experiment
with the best location for a subwoofer in
your listening room.
Once the speakers have been placed in the
room and connected, the final step is to
enter the configuration information and
balance the speaker output levels. Before
proceeding further this is a good time to
review the installation section of the
manual to make certain that all
connections are properly made.
