Speaker placement

Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your ro om, wall
coverings, and other environment variables. The following information depicts
typical placement recommendations.

Front left and right speaker s and center speaker

■ Place the front speakers so they are no closer to the listening area than

the center speaker.

■ Place the center speaker between the front left an d right spea kers and no

further from the listening area than the front speakers. Generally, center
speaker placement is made either directly above or directly below the TV.

■ Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at your ears while you are seated

in your main listening area.

www.gateway.com

25

Chapter 2: Connecting Com ponents and Speakers

Surround left and right speaker s

■ Place the surround speakers approximately 40 inches (1 meter) above the

ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right or slightly behind
the listener.

Surround back speaker

■ Place the surround back speaker at the rear center of your listening area

facing toward the listening area at a slightly higher position
(0 to 10 inches) than the surround speakers.

■ We recommend installing the surround back speaker at a slightly

downward facing angle. This helps prevent the surround back channel
signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center.

Subwoofer

■ The powerful deep bass sounds produced by the subwoofer are

non-directional, meaning you cannot tell where the sound is coming from.
Place the subwoofer anywhere in your room. The closer to a wall or corner
that you place your subwoofer the bassier the sound becomes.

Making the connections

Connect speakers firmly and correctly according to their channel (left and right)
and their polarity (+ and –). If the connections are faulty, the speakers will not
reproduce sound. If the polarity of the connections are incorrect, the sound
will be unnatural and lack bass.

Warning Use speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or above.

Do not let the bare speak e r w ires tou ch eac h oth er or a n y
metal part of this receiver. This could damage the receiv er
and/or the speakers.
