Connecting Your Equipment
• If possible, place the surround speakers
slightly above ear level.
• Try not to place the surround speakers
further away from the listening position
than the front and center speakers. Doing
so can weaken the surround sound effect.
• To achieve the best possible surround
sound, install your speakers as shown at
right. Be sure all speakers are installed
securely to prevent accidents and
improve sound quality.

Hints on Speaker Placement
Speakers are usually designed with a particular placement in mind. Some are designed to be
floorstanding, while others should be placed on stands to sound their best. Some should be
placed near a wall; others should be placed away from walls. Follow the guidelines on
placement that the speaker manufacturer provided with your particular speakers to get the
most out of them.
• Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV.
• When placing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers
to prevent possible interference, such as discoloration of the picture when the TV is
switched on. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration
of the TV picture, move the speakers farther away from the TV.
• Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is
localized at the TV screen.
Caution:
If you choose to install the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with
putty, or by other suitable means, to reduce the risk of damage or injury resulting from
the speaker falling from the TV in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.
