The way in which the speakers are laid out will

have influence upon bass and sound field; the aspects

below should be regarded:

Locate speakers on level and reliable floor.

If the speakers are located too closely to floors, walls, or

corners, extra bass will be generated, shield the walls and

windows with thick curtains.

The front speakers are the same as the surround speakers.

Locate the front, center and surround speakers at spots with approximately equal distance from the listening area. The angles in the figure are

only rough.

Only the attached speakers can be adopted.

If other speakers are used, the unit may be damaged, and

affect the sound quality.

Locate speakers on level and reliable plane in case of falling. If you

can not locate them on level planes, take suitable measures to

prevent the unit falling.

Main unit

To ensure good ventilation, the speaker and main unit must be

kept at least 10 cm apart.

Center speaker

It is acceptable to put the speaker directly under the television.

If the middle speaker is placed directly on the television, the

generated vibration may cause graphics image distortion.

Active Subwoofer

It should be located on the ground or stable support to the left of

television for fear of generating vibration.

To the right side of active subwoofer, there should be a space of

10cm in order to ensure the effective operation of the amplifier,

and to the back panel of active subwoofer, there should be a space

of 10cm in order to ensure ventilation.

How to use the clip behind speaker

If there are abnormal colors on the television

Although these speakers are designed to be located near

televisions, with some combinations of television and

equipment, the image may be affected.

If this happens, switch off the television for about 30

minutes.
