Getting Started Positioning your speaker 1 Left, Right (Front Speakers) They carry primarily music and sound effects Alignment Align the center speaker evenly with (A), or slightly behind (B), the left and right speakers, but not ahead EN of them. 2 Center In surround mode, the center speaker carries much of the dialogue as well as music and effects. It should be set between the left and right speakers. 3 Surround (Rear Speakers) Their overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field. Subwoofer A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heightens involvement with the action on the screen. It is therefore recommended to connect subwoofers when small speakers are used. Magnetic shielding Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent picture distortion. Front and center speakers provided with RT2350/RT2350BK/RT2600 are magnetically shielded to protect your TV set.

It is not recommended to place the rear speakers near the TV set. 3 1 3 Courtesy Dolby Laboratories 2 Courtesy Dolby Laboratories Height 1 The three speakers should be as close as possible to the same height. This often requires placing the cen- ter speaker directly atop (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.
