13 Additional information 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.

Installation on floor (Diagram as seen from the side) Monitor TV L R 45° to 60° • 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 monitor, place it facing slightly downwards towards the listening position.
