Basic Connections
Step 1:  Placing the speakers  
 and 
subwoofer 
For optimum surround sound, all the 
speakers (except subwoofer) should be 
placed at the same distance from the 
listening position.
A
 Place the front left and right speakers at 
equal distances from the TV and at an 
angle of approximately 45 degrees from 
the listening position.
B
 Place the centre speaker above the TV or 
the main unit such that the centre 
channel’s sound is localised.
C
 Place the rear speakers at normal 
listening ear level or hang on the wall.
D
 Place the subwoofer at the corner of the 
room. Keep it at least one metre away 
from the TV. 
Helpful Hints:
– The placement diagram shown here is only 
a guideline that will provide great system 
performance. You may fi nd other placement 
choices that are more suitable for your room 
layout that provide the sound experience you 
enjoy.
– To avoid magnetic interference, never 
position the front speakers too close to your 
TV.
– Allow adequate ventilation space around 
the AV receiver.
