System installation EH Placing the speaker in your system The best surround effect will be achieved by placing each speaker at the same distance from the listening position. recommended to arrange the speakers as shown below. Center speaker Front speaker (le) Front speaker (right) Default setting: 6 feet (2 m) 100° 100° Surround \ Surround speaker (left) a speaker (right) 120° Note: The default distance is set to 6 feet (2 m). If speakers cannot be placed at equal dis- tances, refer to "Speaker delay setting" (see page 49). Installation image:

Place the TV halfway between the front speakers. Itis recommended that the center speaker be placed near the television. Place the surround speakers at a position just above the height of your ears. The subwoofer vibrates while reproducing bass. Place it on a stable, sturdy sur- face. The subwoofer reproduces only lower frequency bass tones. Since the human ear cannot identify the direction of low bass tones, the subwoofer can usually be placed freely in the room for the best sound result. © Bass sound is easily affected by the position of the subwoofer. If the bass tones in the listening position seem much too low or too high, try changing your listening position. Ifthe bass tone level changes when you change the listening position, try. relocating the subwoofer.
