E-3 Placing the subwooferIt is recommended to place the subwoofer on the outside ofeither the right or the left main speaker. (See fig. Å .) Theplacement shown in fig. ı is also possible, however, if thesubwoofer system is placed directly facing the wall, thebass effect may die because the sound from it and thesound reflected by the wall may cancel out each other. Toprevent this from happening, face the subwoofer system atan angle as shown in fig. Å.NoteThere may be a case that you cannot obtain enough super-bass sounds from the subwoofer when listening in thecenter of the room. This is because “standing waves” havebeen developed between two parallel walls and they cancelthe bass sounds.In such a case, face the subwoofer obliquely to the wall. Italso may be necessary to break up the parallel surfaces byplacing bookshelves etc. along the walls.( : Subwoofer, : Main speaker)ıÅSETTING UP THE SPEAKERSBefore making connections, place all speakers in their respective positions. The positioning of the speakers is importantbecause it controls the whole sound quality of this system.Place the speakers depending on your listening position by following the instructions below.Speaker configurationThis speaker package employs a 6 speaker configuration: 2main speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center speaker and asubwoofer.The main speakers are used for main source sound. Therear speakers are used for surround sounds, and the centerspeaker is for center sounds (dialog etc.). The subwoofer isfor reinforcing low frequencies on your audio system.Placing speakersMain speakers: On both sides of and at approximatelythe same height as the TV set.Rear speakers: Behind your listening position, facingslightly inward. About 1.8 m (approx. 6feet) from the floor.Center speaker: Precisely between the main speakers.Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not socritical because low bass tones are nothighly directional.Refer to “Placing the subwoofer” belowfor a recommended positioning of thesubwoofer.Main L Center Main RRear LSubwooferRear RMain LMain RSubwooferCenterRear LRear RTV-set
