Setting Up the Speakers for Dolby Pro Logic Surround

Pfoper speaker positioning is essential in order to achieve directional effects and diffused ambience, especially in the case of the surround speakers. Too much direct sound from the surround speakers can make its presence too obvious while too much diffusion may result in a directionless sound image. If it is not possible to locate the surround speakers in the preferred way, experiment with their positioning while

keeping in mind the goal is to achieve a diffused and enveloping, but not overly vague, sound field.

4 If, possible, mount the surround

speakers on the walls to the sides of your listening and viewing area, 25 V8 to 35 '/2 inches above your seated position, facing each other.

Inserting the Batteries
