Hints on speaker placement
Speakers are usually designed with a particular placement in mind. Some are designed to be floorstanding, while others should be placed on stands to sound their best. Some should be placed near a wall; others should be placed away from walls. We have provided a few tips on getting the best sound from your speakers (following), but you should also follow the guidelines on placement that the speaker manufacturer provided with your particular speakers to get the most out of them. � Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV. � When placing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent possible interference, such as discoloration of the picture when the TV is switched on. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV picture, move the speakers farther away from the TV. � If you�re using a center speaker, place the front speakers at a wider angle. If not, place them at a narrower angle. � Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen. � It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening position. The angle depends on the size of the room. Use less of an angle for bigger rooms. � Surround speakers should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm higher than your ears and titled slightly downward. Make sure the speakers don�t face each other. � To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown next page. Be sure all speakers are installed securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality.

Caution � These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts. � Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.
