Positioning for best effect How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points. • Attach the included rubber pads to the base of the center speaker (SC-HT16 and SC-HT15: center and surround speakers). This prevents vibration from causing the speakers to move or fall over. Use 4 pads per speaker. • Place speakers on flat secure bases. • Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with a thick curtain. Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

Surround speakers (left, right) Place on the side of or slightly behind the seating area, higher than ear level.
