Positioning the speakers
For the best possible surround sound, all the
speakers other than the subwoofer should be the
same distance from the listening position (
A
).
However, this system allows you to place the
center speaker up to 1.6 meters (5 ft) closer (
B
)
and the surround speakers up to 5.0 meters (16
ft) closer (
C
) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to
7.0 meters (3 to 23 ft) (
A
) from the listening
position.
Place speakers as illustrated below.
Note
• Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.
• Do not place the speakers in locations that are:
–
Extremely hot or cold
–
Dusty or dirty
–
Very humid
–
Subject to vibrations

Subject to direct sunlight
• Use caution when placing the speakers and/or
speaker stands (not supplied) that are attached with
the speakers on a specially treated (waxed, oiled,
polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may
result.
• When cleaning, use a soft cloth such as a cleaning
cloth for glasses.
• Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
• Do not lean or hang on the speaker, as the speaker
may fall down.
Tip
• When you change the positions of the speakers, it is
recommended that you change the settings. For
details, see “Getting Optimal Surround Sound for a
Room” (page 66) and “Calibrating the Appropriate
