Locating your speakers
Ideal speaker placement varies depending on 
the size of your room and the wall coverings. A 
typical example of speaker placement and 
recommendations are as follows.
Front left and right speakers and center speaker
Place the front speakers with their front 
surfaces as flush with the TV or monitor 
screen as possible.
Place the center speaker between the front 
left and right speakers and no further from 
the listening position than the front speakers.
Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at 
the location of the listener’s ears when at the 
main listening position.
Surround left and right speakers
Place the surround speakers approximately 
40 inches (1 meter) above the ear level of a 
seated listener on the direct left and right of 
them or slightly behind.
Subwoofer
The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass 
sounds. Place a subwoofer anywhere in the front 
as desired.
Connecting the antennas
To connect the antennas:
Connect the FM antenna to your receiver.

Notes
When using a conventional TV, to avoid 
interference with the TV picture, use only 
magnetically shielded front left and right and 
center speakers.
To obtain the best surround effects, the 
speakers except the subwoofer should be full 
range speakers.
Note
If you are using an indoor FM antenna, change the 
position of the antenna until you get the best 
reception of your favorite FM stations.
Note
To improve reception, you may use a 75 
Ω
 outdoor 
antenna instead of an indoor antenna. Disconnect 
the indoor antenna before replacing it with an 
outdoor antenna.
