This section describes various methods of connecting the product to other external components. Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

Connecting the Speakers

SAMSUNG HT-E4550K - Connecting the Speakers - 1

text_image Subwoofer Center Front (L) Product Front (R) Surround (R) Surround (L)

Position of the product

Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand.

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. For example, if you have a 46 inch screen, locate the listening position 2.92 to 3.50 meters from the screen.

Front SpeakersPlace 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.
Center SpeakerIt 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.
Surround SpeakersPlace 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.
SubwooferThe position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.
