13 ENSpeaker placementFront speakers : Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV.Angle the speakers towards the listening area to enhance the stereoeffect.Center speaker : Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes thesound image and helps recreate sound motion. Required for surroundplayback.Surround speakers : Place the surround speakers as high as possible,either directly to the sides of the listening area or else slightly behindthe listening area. Adjust the angles so that these speakers are facingdirectly towards the listeners.Subwoofer : Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position inthe listening room, near one of the front speakers near the centerspeaker. (Since the subwoofer has less directivity than other speakers,it can be placed almost in any position that can offer the best lowfrequency reproduction according to the room layout.)Surround back speakers : Place the surround back speaker behind thelistening position, at the same height as the left and right surroundspeakers.¶ Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers listedabove, if you don't have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you candivide those signals between the available speakers in the speakersettings steps to obtain the best possible surround reproduction fromthe speakers you have available. *Setting up the systemSpeaker impedanceAfter confirming the speaker impedance indications printed on therear panel of the receiver, connect speakers with matching imped-ance ratings. Using speakers with a rated impedance other than thatindicated on the rear panel of the receiver could result in malfunctionsor damage to the speakers or receiver.¶ Never short circuit the + and – speaker cords.¶ If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or thespeaker cords are connected with reversed polarity, the soundwill be unnatural with ambiguous acoustic imaging.
