Tip
•
The distance to the subwoofer may be slightly larger
than the distance actually measured with a tape
measure, etc. This is because this distance is
corrected for electric delay, and is not a problem.
Positional relationship between speakers
and monitor
Position of front speakers and monitor
The front speakers should be as equidistant as possible
to the monitor.
Position of center speaker and monitor
Since mostly dialogs are output from the center speaker,
keeping the center speaker as close as possible to the
screen makes the overall sound more natural. For TVs
using Braun tubes, however, when installing the center
speaker on the floor, adjust its angle of elevation to point
it towards the listening position.

If the center speaker is not of the shielded type, install
it away from the TV.

When installing the center speaker on top of the

the listening position.
