Connections and Setup Positioning Speakers 3 1 Front Speaker Placement Follow the suggestions for speaker placement below to get the best results. 2 1 3 4 Courtesy Dolby Laboratories 1. Left, Right (Front Speakers) Front speakers carry primarily music and sound effects. Courtesy Dolby Laboratories Alignment Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or slightly behind (B) (the left and right speakers), but not ahead of them. 2. Center In surround mode, the center speaker carries most of the dialog as well as music and effects. It should be set between the left and right speakers. 3. Surround (Rear Speakers) The rear speakers' overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field. Subwoofer A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heighten the action on the screen. Magnetic Shielding Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent picture distortion. Front speakers provided with this unit are magnetically shielded to protect your TV set. A B Courtesy Dolby Laboratories Angle Place the left and right speakers to form a 45degree angle with your favorite viewing position to duplicate the soundtrack mixer's perspective. Height The mid- and high-frequency drivers of the three front speakers should be as close as possible to the same height. This often requires placing the center speaker directly on top (A) or beneath (B) the TV set. Note: Place the rear speakers and subwoofer a foot or more away from TV when using the Front Surround sound Effect (FSsE). Courtesy Dolby Laboratories Connections and Setup Better Surround Placement Location If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the listening area, not behind it. Height If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet above viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects. Aiming Aim surround speakers straight across the room, not down at viewers, to help create a more open, spacious surround sound field. Front Surround Mode Speaker Placement Configuration 1 Follow the suggestion for speaker placement in the section before. 1 Configuration 1 Courtesy Dolby Laboratories Alternative Surround Placement Rear wall If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement until sounds seem to surround you, rather than come from behind you. Configuration 2 If placing the rear speakers (surround speakers) at the back is not a good choice for you, you can use the Front Surround sound Effect(FSsE). Follow the following instruction for setting the speakers. (See section "Front Surround Sound Effect (FSsE) Setting" under "Advanced Sound Control" for details). Mounting the Speakers 1. Place the front speaker upside down. 2. Slide in the hinge to the bottom of the front speaker until the 'click' sound is heard. 3. Slide in the rear speaker to the hinge until the 'click' sound is heard. 4. Attach the four rubber feet provided to the top of the front speaker. Note: Match the front left and rear left speakers together and match the front right and rear right speakers together. Courtesy Dolby Laboratories No adjacent walls Surround speakers can go on stands facing each other to approximate sidewall mounting (A), or to the sides or rear of the viewing area, aimed upwards; they can go right on the floor, or preferably, a few feet off the floor such as on end tables (B). 1 2 Bottom Front Speaker Hinge Top Connections and Setup 3 Rear Speaker 4 Note: Place the rear speakers and subwoofer a foot or more away from TV when using the Front Surround sound Effect (FSsE). Front Speaker Rubber Feet Disconnecting the Speakers 1. To unlock the speakers, press and hold the hinge spring as illustrated below. 2. Slide out the rear speaker from the hinge. 3. Press and hold the two hinge springs. 4. Slide out the hinge from the front speaker. Adjusting the Angle of the Speakers To achieve the best Front Surround sound Effect (FSsE), adjust the mounted front left and the rear left speakers to the left for an angle of 25o - 45o from the center. Adjust the mounted front right and rear right speakers to the right in the same way. 25 o ~ 45 o Rear Speaker Rear Speaker Front Speaker 25 o ~ 45 o Center Front Speaker 1 2 Rear Speaker Hinge Spring Front Speaker Press and hold 3 4 Hinge Spring After adjusting the angle, the speaker should Press look like this illustration. and hold Configuration 2
