Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about

same height as your ear. Align the front face of the front speakers with the front
face of the centre speaker or place them slightly in front of the centre speakers.

Selecting the Listening Position
The listening position should be
located about 2.5 to 3 times the

TV. For example, if you have a 46
inch screen, locate the listening
position 2.92 to 3.50 meters from
the screen.

* The appearance of your speakers may differ from the illustrations in this manual.
* Each speaker has a coloured label on its back or underside. Each cable has a single coloured band
near its end. Match the band on each cable to the speaker label by colour, and then connect the
cable to the speaker. See page 10 for exact instructions.
It is best to install the centre speaker 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. Position them about 60 to
90cm above your ear, facing slightly downward.
* Unlike the front and centre speakers, the surround speakers are used mainly
for sound effects. Sound will not come from them all the time.
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.
