Product
Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you. Place the front 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.
Front (R)
Surround (R)
Selecting the Listening Position
The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the TV's screen size away from 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 colored label on its back or underside. Each cable has a single colored band near
its end. Match the band on each cable to the speaker label by color, and then connect the cable to the speaker. See page 10 for exact instructions.
It is best to install the center 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 center 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.

The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format compresses images with greater efficiency than the conventional image compressing format.
Some AVCHD discs use the "x.v.Color" format. This product can play back AVCHD discs that use the "x.v.Color" format.
"x.v.Color" is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
"AVCHD" and the AVCHD logo are trademarks of Matsushita Electronic Industrial Co., Ltd. and Sony Corporation.
Some AVCHD format discs may not play, depending
on the recording conditions. AVCHD format discs need to be finalized.
"x.v.Color" offers a wider color range than normal
DVD camcorder discs. Some DivX, MKV and MP4 format discs may not play,
depending on their video resolution and frame rate.
