Speaker Setup For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the sub woofer 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 feet) closer (B) and the surround speakers up to 4.6 meters (15 feet) closer (C) to the listening position. The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 7.0 meters (3 to 23 feet) (A) from the listening position. Place the speakers as illustrated below. You can place the sub woofer in any position.

Speaker Setup
For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the sub woofer 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 feet) closer (
B
) and the surround speakers up to 4.6 meters
(15 feet) closer (
C
) to the listening position. The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 7.0
meters (3 to 23 feet) (
A
) from the listening position.
Place the speakers as illustrated below. You can place the sub woofer in any position.
Note
Do not place the center and surround speakers further away from the listening position than the front speakers.
About magnetically shielded speaker (to prevent colour irregularity occurring on
the TV screen)
The speakers in this system are magnetically shielded to prevent magnetic leakage. However,
some leakage may occur, as a high-strength magnet is employed. If the speakers is used with a
CRT-based TV or projector, install the speakers at least 0.3 meters (1 ft) from the TV set, etc. If
it is installed too close, colour irregularity may occur on the screen. If colour irregularity
occurs, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If colour irregularity
occurs again, place the speakers further away from the TV set. If colour irregularity still occurs
after performing the above, make sure that no magnetic object is nearby the speakers. Colour
irregularity may occur as a result of interaction between the speakers and the magnetic object.
Examples of possible sources of magnetic interference include: magnetic latches on a TV stand,
etc., healthcare devices, toys, etc.
Specifying the speaker parameters
To obtain the best possible surround sound, first specify the distance of the speakers from your
listening position, then set the balance and level. Use the test tone to adjust the speaker volumes
to the same level.
Select “SPEAKER SETUP” in the setup display. For details, see “Settings for the Speakers”
