Position of the product

Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand.

Selecting the Listening Position

The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the distance of the TV's screen size away from the TV.

Product

Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward
you. Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ear. Align
the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them
slightly in front of the center speakers.

It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers. You can also install it directly
over or under the TV.

Place these speakers to the side of your listening position. If there isn't enough room, place
these speakers so they face each other. Place them about 60 to 90cm above your ear,
facing slightly downward.
* Unlike the front and center speakers, the surround speakers are used to handle mainly

sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.

| CAUTION |

Do not let children play with or near the speakers. They could get hurt if the speaker falls.



When connecting the speaker wires to the speakers, make sure that the polarity (+/ –) is correct.

| NOTE |

If you place a speaker near your TV set, screen colour may be distorted because of the magnetic field generated by



the speaker. If this occurs, place the speaker away from your TV set.
