SPEAKER PLACEMENT

SUBWOOFER SET UP GUIDE
Typical Loudspeaker Placement

Figure 1 illustrates the most generally accepted speaker locations for a home the-
ater system. Although there are an infinite number of set up options using Figure
1 as a template will certainly provide a great starting point. Experimentation with

slightly different speaker locations may provide improved performance in your
specific listening environment.

The front left and right speakers should form a 45 degree triangle using the center
seating position as the apex.

The surround speakers should be placed beside the listening area, and pointed
towards each other. It is also recommended that the speakers be 2-3 feet above
the listeners head.

Left/Center/Right Front Speaker Height

One of the most important parameters for the left/center/right front speakers in
a home theater system is height. Figure 2 shows the ideal arrangement of the
speakers in relation to the viewing screen: all three speakers are aligned on the
same horizontal plane. This establishes a firm image height when special audio
effects are panned from one side to the other, such as a speeding car moving
across the screen. When a large discontinuity occurs between the heights of the
center front channel and the left/right front speakers, as depicted in Figure 3 eht ,
image of the moving object becomes confused and somewhat unnatural due to
shifts in image height.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your speakers are designed to work with a wide range of electronic components.
As little as 20 watts per channel can provide enough power for most applications.
If you have a large room or prefer louder listening levels, more power may be
required.

Caution: When choosing an amplifier, do not exceed the power
rating of the speaker. If you hear very high levels of audible dis­tortion you are exceeding the capabilities of the system. Damage
can occur from this distortion, turn the volume back down until the
distortion disappears.

Use the following guidelines to maintain the appearance of your speakers. Use
a soft, damp cloth to clean the speaker cabinet. Avoid using harsh detergents or
cleaning fluids. Remove the grills to vacuum and remove dust. Do not vacuum
any of the speaker components, permanent damage could occur.

Speakers up off of a level surface. Simply peel each of the four feet off the
sheet and press on to the bottom of the Satellite Speaker. Repeat steps for
the remaining Satellite Speakers.

B. Feet for Center Channel

Included in the system are plastic feet that allow the Center Channel to be
angled more horizontally on top of your television monitor. If you wish to use
the feet, simply insert the knurled end of the feet into the two holes in the lower
rear of the Center Channel.
