REAR SPEAKERS II iiWALL WIALL WALL WALL IN-CEILING Proper placement of the speakers is an important step in obtaining the most realistic soundstage possible. These recommendations are for the optimum placement of the loudspeakers. Use these placement recommendations as a guide. Slight variations will not diminish your listening pleasure. The front speakers should be placed the same distance from each other as they are from the listening position. They should be placed at about the same height from the floor as the listener 's ears will be, with the tweeters aimed toward the listener at ear-level height. In a home theater configuration, the two surround speakers should be placed slightly behind the listening position and ideally should face each other and be at a level higher than the listener's ears. If that is not possible, they may be placed in a wall (or in the ceiling) behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround speakers should not call attention to themselves. They should provide a diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the main program material heard in the front speakers. In Dolby* Digital and DTS' systems, aim the tweeters toward the listening position at ear-level height. SPEAKER CONNECTIONS CONNECTION TIPS The wires for both speakers should be the same length. If one speaker is placed closer to the amplifier than the other, hide the excess wire behind the wallSpeakers and electronics terminals have corre- sponding (+) and (-) terminals. We use red to denote the (+) termi- LEFT A. RIGHT t nal and black for the (-) terminal. It is important to connect both speakers identically: (+) on the speaker to (+) on the ampli- fier and (-) on the speaker to (-) F-T+1F-T+1 LEFT RIGHT on the amplifier. Wiring "out of phase" results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo Front or Rear Speaker Outputs image. With the advent of multichannel surround sound systems, connecting all of the speakers in your system with the correct polarity remains equally important in order to preserve the proper ambience and directionality of the program material. 3
