RT2500 ENG 5/26/00 2:56 PM Page 10 Getting Started EN Positioning your Speakers Your system is equipped with Dolby Digital & Digital Theatre System, which enable the unit to reproduce sound effects as they were intended. However, the speakers must be properly positioned and balanced. For more information on speaker setup, please refer to "Fine Setting of the Speakers" on page 12 & "Speaker Distance" on page 13 In order to enjoy Dolby & Digital Theatre System enhanced sound quality, five speakers are preferred: One center speaker, left and right main speakers, rear left and right speakers, and an optional subwoofer. However, if your front speakers are small speakers, then a subwoofer is essential or you will not be able to enjoy enhanced bass effects. Below are a few suggestions for the set up: 1. The two main speakers should be set between six and ten feet apart. Putting them any closer or farther apart may result in less satisfactory sound. 2. Try to align center speaker and two main speakers, or set the center speaker slightly behind the left and right main speakers, otherwise the surround effect may be less satisfactory. 3. Aim the rear speakers directly at the two main speakers, matching height to height. If the room is sparsely decorated, slightly tilt the speakers down to increase sound quality. If the room is densely decorated, face the speakers towards the rear wall at the ceiling. Main Left Center TV Main Right Manufactured under License from Digital Theater Systems, Inc. US Pat.
