Caution:
Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker
terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the rear panel it may cause the power to cut
off as a safety measure. Use good quality speaker wire to connect the speakers to the receiver.
Hints on Speaker Placement
Speakers are usually designed with a particular placement in mind. Some are designed to be
floorstanding, while others should be placed on stands to sound their best. Some should be
placed near a wall; others should be placed away from walls. Follow the guidelines on
placement that the speaker manufacturer provided with your particular speakers to get the
most out of them.

• Place the front left and right speakers at
equal distances from the TV.
• When placing speakers near the TV, we
recommend using magnetically shielded
speakers to prevent possible interference,
such as discoloration of the picture when
the TV is switched on. If you do not have
magnetically shielded speakers and
notice discoloration of the TV picture,
move the speakers farther away from the
TV.
• Place the center speaker above or below
the TV so that the sound of the center
channel is localized at the TV screen.
• If possible, place the surround speakers
slightly above ear level.
• Try not to place the surround speakers
further away from the listening position
than the front and center speakers. Doing
so can weaken the surround sound effect.
• To achieve the best possible surround
sound, install your speakers as shown
below. Be sure all speakers are installed
securely to prevent accidents and
improve sound quality.
Caution:
If you choose to install the center speaker on
top of the TV, be sure to secure it with putty,
or by other suitable means, to reduce the
risk of damage or injury resulting from the
speaker falling from the TV in the event of
external shocks such as earthquakes.
