Slight variations will not diminish your listening pleasure.The front speakers should be placed the same di-stance from each other as they are from the listening position.They should be placed at about the same height from the floor as the liste- ner'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 forword.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 LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT Front or Rear Speaker Outputs The wires for both speakers should be the same length.If one speaker is placed closer to the amplifer than the other, hide the excess wire behid the wall.Speakers and electronics terminals have corresponding(+)and(-)terminals. We use red to denote the(+)terminal and black for the(-)terminal.It is important to connect both speakers identically:(+)on the speaker to(+)on the amplifier and(-)on the speaker to(-) on the amplifier.Wireing"out of phase" results in thin sound, weak bass and a poor stereo 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. -5- EXISTING CONSTRUCTION IN-CEILING SPEAKERS Cut the drywall.
