Positioning the system

The following illustration shows an example of
positioning the system. Note that the illustrations
in these instructions dier 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

2

position ( ).

Connecting

Front left speaker (L)/ Front right speaker (R):

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

Center speaker: Place the center speaker above

or below the monitor or screen.

Surround left speaker (L)/ Surround right

speaker (R):
Place these speakers behind your listening
position, facing slightly inwards.

Subwoofer: 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.
