Where you put your speakers in the room has a
big effect on the quality of the sound. The
following guidelines should help you to get the
best sound from your system.
• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor.
Ideally, the other speakers should be at
about ear-level when you’re listening to
them. Putting the speakers on the floor
(except the subwoofer), or mounting them
very high on a wall is not recommended.
• For the best stereo effect, place the front
speakers 2 m to 3 m apart, at equal
distance from the TV.
• Install the center speaker above or below
the TV so that the sound of the center
channel is localized at the TV screen.
• When using a 5-spot setup, install the
surround speakers slightly above ear level,
if possible.

• Make sure that all speakers are securely
installed (if you choose to install the center
speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure
it by suitable means). This not only
improves sound quality, but also reduces
the risk of damage or injury resulting from
speakers being knocked over or falling in
the event of external shocks such as
earthquakes.
Connecting up
02
• The front, center and surround speakers
supplied with this system are magnetically
shielded. However, placing them extremely
close to a television may result in color
distortion on the screen. If this happens,
move the speakers a little further away and
switch off the television for 15 to 30
minutes.
• The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded
and so should not be placed near a TV or
monitor.
Wall-mounting the center and
surround speaker system
(The HTD88DVD model supports wall mounting
of the surround speakers only)
Before mounting
• Remember that the speaker system is
heavy and that its weight could cause the
wood screws to work loose, or the wall
material to fail to support it, resulting in the
speaker falling. Make sure that the wall you
intend to mount the speakers on is strong
enough to support them. Do not mount on
plywood or soft surface walls.
• Mounting screws are not supplied. Use
screws that are suitable for the wall
material and that will support the weight of
the speaker.

Connecting the supplied antennas
The supplied antennas provide a simple way to listen to AM and FM radio. If you find that reception
quality is poor, an outdoor antenna should give you better sound quality—see
antennas
on page 71 for more on how to do this.

For best results, extend the FM antenna fully
and fix to a wall or door frame. Don’t drape
loosely or leave coiled up.
