RTD260 EN (07_06_06) 15/6/06 4:34 PM Page 10 Connections and Setup 3 EN 3 Positioning speakers 1 Left, Right (Front Speakers) 1 Front speakers carry primarily music and sound effects. 2 Center In surround mode, the center speaker carries 2 most of the dialog as well as music and effects. It should be set between the left and right speakers. 3 Surround (Rear Speakers) The rear speakers' overall sound balance should 1 be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field. Courtesy Dolby Laboratories Subwoofer A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heighten the action on the screen. Magnetic shielding Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent picture distortion. Front, Center and Rear speakers provided with this unit are magnetically shielded to protect your TV set. Note: Place the subwoofer a foot or more away from TV when using the Front Surround sound Effect. (FSsE). Courtesy Dolby Laboratories A B Front speaker placement Follow the suggestions for speaker placement below to get the best results. Alignment Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or slightly behind (B) (the left and right speakers), but not ahead of them. Angle Place the left and right speakers to form a 45degree angle with your favorite viewing position to duplicate the soundtrack mixer's perspective. Height The mid- and high-frequency drivers of the three front speakers should be as close as possible to the same height. This often requires placing the center speaker directly on top (A) or beneath (B) the TV set. Courtesy Dolby Laboratories 6 Illustrations contained in this document are for representation only.
