Positioning for best effect

How you set up your speakers can affect the

bass and the sound field.

Note the following points.

• Attach the included rubber pads to the base

of the center speaker (SC-HT16 and

SC-HT15: center and surround speakers).

This prevents vibration from causing the

speakers to move or fall over. Use 4 pads

per speaker.

• Place speakers on flat secure bases.

• Placing speakers too close to floors, walls,

and corners can result in excessive bass.

Cover walls and windows with a thick

curtain.

e.g., SC-HT17

Surround speakers

Place on a shelf or

rack.

Front speakers (left, right)

Place on the left and right of the TV at seated ear height so that there is good

coherency between the picture and sound.

Center speaker

Place underneath or above the center of the TV. Aim the speaker at the seating

area.

Surround speakers (left, right)

Place on the side of or slightly behind the seating area, higher than ear level.

Subwoofer

The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a reasonable

distance from the TV.

Note that some experimentation can yield the smoothest low frequency

performance. Placement near a corner can increase the apparent output level, but

can result in unnatural bass.

Note

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32")

away from the system for proper ventilation.

Rubber pads

Bottom of center speaker

Bottom of surround speaker (SC-HT16 and

SC-HT15)

Attaching the rubber pads

Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance

from the seating position.

The angles in the diagram are approximate.

Preventing the speakers from falling over

Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to a wall

(diagram on the right).

• Obtain the screws appropriate to the walls and pillars to which they are

going to be fastened.

• Consult with a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate

procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that may not

have strong enough support. Improper installation may result in

damage to the wall or speakers.

Wall

screw eyes

(not included)

Speaker

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

The supplied speakers are designed to be used close to a

television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions

and setup combinations.

If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.

The television's demagnetizing function should correct the

problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the

television.

Caution

• The main unit and supplied speakers are only to be

used as indicated in this manual. Failure to do so may

lead to damage to the receiver and/or the speakers,

and may result in the risk or fire. Consult a qualified

service person if damage has occurred or if you

experience a sudden change in performance.

• Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using

methods other than those described in this manual.

• The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of

supporting 10 kg (22 lb.) per screw. Consult a qualified building contractor when

attaching the speakers to wall. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall

and speakers.

• When mounting the speakers to walls, use a string (not included) to prevent them

from falling (

è page 6).

• (SC-HT17: front and surround speakers, SC-HT16 and SC-HT15: front speakers)
