Sony LBT-ZX80D User Manual

Place the front speakers in one room and the 
surround speakers in another room. For details, 
see “Listening to the sound in another room” on 
page 58.

Place the front speakers at an angle of 45 
degrees from your listening position.

• Do not place the surround speakers on top of a TV. 

This may cause distortion of the colors in the TV 
screen.

• If you place the center speaker on the unit, be sure to 

place it at the front side of the unit.

• Place the subwoofer on solid floor where resonance 

is unlikely to occur so that a better bass reproduction 
could be obtained.

• Always place the subwoofer vertically, keeping it a 

few centimeters/inches away from the wall.

• If the subwoofer is placed in the center of a room, the 

bass could be extremely weakened. This is due to the 
influence of the standing wave of the room. If this 
happens, move the subwoofer away from the center 
of the room or eliminate the cause of the standing 
wave, by placing a bookshelf against the wall, etc.

To enjoy DVD VIDEOs and other discs with 
multi-channel sound and Dolby surround 
effects, you need to adjust the speaker settings.
For details, see “Setting the speakers” on page 
44.
