• 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.

Center Speaker

• It is best to install it at the same heightas the front speakers.

• You can also install it directly over or under the TV.

13

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. Example: For 32" TVs 2~2.4m (6-Sleet)

For 55" TVs 3.5-4m (11-13feet)

Rear Speakers 00

• Place these speakers behind your _istening position.

• If there isn'tenough room, place these speakers to face each other.

• Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear, facing slightly downward.

* Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.

Subwoofer (_

• The position of the subwoofer is not so critical.

Place it anywhere you like.
