� Try not to place the surround speakers further away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect. � Make sure all speakers are installed securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality. � Do not attach these speakers to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.
Important � Use speakers with a nominal impedance of at least 16 �. � Make sure you connect both surround speakers or you won�t be able to hear anything from the surround jacks.
