Before connecting

Please make sure to disconnect the AC power cord
before making any connection between the unit and
any other device.

Positioning the system

The following illustration shows an example of
positioning the system. Note that the illustrations
in these instructions differ from the actual unit for
explanation purposes.

For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers
other than the subwoofer should be placed at the
same distance from the listening position (

).

13

Front speaker (L)

Front speaker (R)

Place the front speakers to the sides of the monitor
or screen and as ush with the screen surface as
possible.

Rear speaker (L)

Rear speaker (R)

Place these speakers behind your listening position,
facing slightly inwards.

Subwoofer (1)

Subwoofer (2)

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical,
because low bass sounds are not highly directional.
But it is better to place the subwoofer near the front
speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the
room to reduce the wall reections.
