Setting Up Placing the speakers The product label on the back of each speaker indicates LEFT or RIGHT. For best acoustic performance, place the left speaker on the left side as you face the front of your room and place the right speaker on the right side of your room. Keep the speakers 6 - 15 feet (1.8 - 6 m) apart and at least 12 inches (30 cm) from side walls (see Figure 3). It is important not to block the acoustic components at the rear of each speaker. To avoid this, place each speaker 10 inches (25 cm) from the wall behind it. Figure 3 Ideal speaker placement 10" minimum (25 cm) 12" minimum (30 cm) 6 - 15 ft (1.8 - 6 m) Figure 4 Place each speaker at least 2 feet (.6 m) from your TV screen.

WARNING: To prevent personal injury, do not place your speakers in high-trafﬁc areas where they can be accidentally knocked over. Note: To prevent interference with your TV picture quality, place each speaker at least 2 feet (.6 m) from your TV screen. 2 ft. minimum .6 m 2 ft. minimum .6 m 5
