Connect speakers
The ideal placement is to set each speaker (excluding the subwoofer) the same distance away from the listening-viewing position.
Measure the actual distance from each of the connected speakers to the listening-viewing position and perform steps
instructed in “Setting distances” (á page 35) or perform steps instructed in “Auto speaker setup using the setup
microphone” (á page 24) when you cannot install speakers the same distance away.
Front speakers (left, right)
Place on the left and right of the TV at seated ear height so that there is good coherency between the picture and sound.
Center speaker 
Place underneath or above the center of the TV. Aim the speaker at the seating area.
When you do not install the center speaker, sound assigned to it is distributed to front speakers and output from them.
Surround speakers (left, right)
Place on the side of or slightly behind the seating area. 
When you do not install surround speakers, sound assigned to them is distributed to front speakers and output from them.
Surround back speakers (left, right)
Place behind the seating area, about 1 meter (3 feet) higher than ear level. 
When you do not install any surround back speaker, sound assigned to them is distributed to surround speakers or front speakers and
output from them.
Subwoofer 
The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a reasonable distance from the TV.
How to connect speaker cables
If using 4-mm plug
• Connect speaker cords properly to terminals
after making sure left and right, and ( and ).
Improper connections may cause the unit to
develop problems.
• Do not short-circuit speaker cords. The action
may damage circuits.
Turn speaker terminals clockwise
and tighten them before inserting
plugs into their holes.
