DPS 5200 HIFI LOUDSPEAKERS
_____________________________________________
Setting up the loudspeakers
As far as possible, set up the front loudspeakers in a line with the TV set, angled
slightly towards the listener. The listener and the speakers should form an equila-
teral triangle. You thus achieve the best stereo effect.
The surround loudspeakers should be angled slightly towards one another at a
sufficient distance behind the listener to the left and right. They should be posi-
tioned at ear-height, even when wall-mounted.
Set up the centre loudspeaker at the midpoint between the two front speakers,
e.g. above or below the TV set. The best height for the centre loudspeaker is at
the ear-height of the seated listener.
To achieve an optimal bass tone sound, we recommend that you set up the sub-
woofer to the left or right of the front loudspeakers, in such a way that the sound
traverses the room along its diagonal.
When you are in the centre of the room, you may not be able to pick up the
bass tone of the subwoofer sufficiently. This is caused by what are called stan-
ding waves, which occur between parallel walls. In this case, you just have to
position the subwoofer facing the wall at an angle, or perhaps switch the phase
over.
Avoid placing the loudspeakers in a corner, because this over-amplifies the bass
tones.
Objects/curtains in front of the loudspeakers significantly impair the treble tones
and the stereo effect.
Note:
Depending on where you position the speakers (e.g. on top of furniture), use
the rubber stoppers included for the front, centre and surround speakers.
Please note that furniture surfaces are coated with many different types
of varnish and plastic, most of which contain chemical additives. These
additives can corrode the device supports, leaving residues on the furniture
surfaces which can be difficult or impossible to remove.
Wall mounting of the surround loudspeakers
Fasten the wires of the loudspeaker cables to the input sockets of the surround
loudspeakers before you wall-mount them.
1 Stick the rubber stoppers included (2 x ø 6 mm) to the two lower corners on
the back of the surround loudspeakers.
2 Drill two holes, push in two wall plugs and screw in the screws so that the
heads are jutting out approx. 6 mm.
3 Hang up the surround loudspeakers by means of the holes in the brackets.
