SYSTEM SETUP Français Español English SYSTEM SETUP Placing your Companion® 5 system For optimal performance, use the following guidelines to choose locations and positions for the Acoustimass® module, speakers, and the control pod. Refer to Figure 2, which shows a typical system setup. Figure 2 Typical system setup Left (L) speaker 24 in (61 cm) maximum Right (R) speaker Control pod Acoustimass module Positioning the speakers Proper positioning of the speakers will allow you to experience the audio surround effects that your Companion® 5 multimedia speaker system is designed to deliver. • Place the left and right speaker to the left and right of your computer monitor at about an arm's length away from where you are seated (Figure 2). The bead on each speaker cord is marked L (left) or R (right) to identify left/right placement. • For optimum performance, position each speaker the same distance from you, and no more than 24 inches (61 cm) apart. • Aim both speakers straight ahead. Do not angle them inward or outward. • Keep the speakers away from adjacent large objects or cabinet surfaces. For example, if your computer desk includes a hutch, keep the outside edge of each speaker at least six inches away from any adjacent surface. Avoid placing the speakers inside cubby holes. 8
