Setting up your home theater system Finding a location for your home theater system • Install your home theater system on a stable flat surface. Position your receiver so that it has a direct line of sight to the remote control. • Do not expose your system to extremes of temperature or humidity. • Avoid placing your system on a hot surface such as on top of other hot running equipment. Make sure that there is adequate ventilation to your system. Caution Do not install the receiver in a confined space such as a bookcase. Caution Connect the AC cord only after the speakers, antenna, and all optional equipment have been connected. Never make or change any connections with the power turned on. Placing your speakers 1 - Center speaker This speaker enhances the front speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full-sound image. In movies it is used mainly for dialog. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front speakers. 2 - Front speakers These provide the overall sound. Their role in a home theater system is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex. 3 - Subwoofer The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your subwoofer depends on its position, the shape of your listening room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the width of the wall, as shown. Tip To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within the room, and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results. 4 - Surround speakers These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about two to three feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener. Speaker precautions • Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers. If liquid is spilled on the speakers, they may be damaged. www.insigniaproducts.com 5
