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

position (
Connecting
).
Caution
>
yBe careful to make sure children not to put
their hands or any objects into the *speaker duct. *Speaker duct: A hole for plentiful bass sound on speaker cabinet (enclosure).
yPlace the center speaker at a safe distance
from the child’s reach. Otherwise it may result in the speaker falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage.
yThe speakers contain magnetic parts, so
colour irregularity may occur on the CRT TV screen or PC monitor screen. Please use the speakers away from the TV screen or PC monitor screen.
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.
