3Setting up the speakersBefore you connect the speakers, place eachspeaker in its respective location. Speaker position-ing is very important as it affects the overall soundquality of the system. Place the speakers in loca-tions that will optimize the sound quality at yourlistening position. Refer to the illustration below.The position of the subwoofer is not as critical asthe position of the other speakers because low basstones are not highly directional. Refer to “Position-ing the subwoofer (SW-P240)” on page 4 for moreinformation.Note: These speakers are magnetically shielded.However, if you place them too close to a TV, theymay impair picture color. In this case, move thespeakers further away from the TV.Positioning the front and surroundspeakers (NX-S120)Front speakers: Place the two front speakers onthe left and right sides of the TV, at approximatelythe same height as the TV, facing directly forward.Surround speakers: Place the left and rightsurround speakers behind your listening position,facing slightly inward, about 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet)above the floor.Surround back speaker (for NS-P246 sys-tems only): Position the surround back speakerbehind your listening position, precisely betweenthe surround speakers, about 1.8 m (approx. 6 feet)above the floor.You can set the front, surround, and surround backspeakers on tables or other supports, or mountthem on a wall or speaker stand. (For more infor-mation, see “Mounting the front and surroundspeakers” on page 5.)Non-skid pads: When placing the speakers on aflat surface, attach the included non-skid pads tothe corners of the speaker bottoms, as shownabove.
