How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points:
≥ Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥ Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick 
curtains.
≥ Left and right speakers are interchangeable, but front and surround speakers are not.
≥ Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. 
The angles in the diagram are approximate.
≥ Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound 
quality will be negatively affected.
≥ Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them 
from falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the 
speakers from falling if you cannot set them up on an 
even surface.
