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 ( ).
2
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.
