Better Surround Placement

For best results, follow the speaker placement
below.

If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the listening area, not behind it.

Alignment
Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or slightly
behind (B) (the left and right speakers), but not
ahead of them.

Height
If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet above viewers. This helps to minimize localization
effects.

If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or towards
the sidewalls (C, D).
Experiment with placement until sounds seem to surround you, rather than come from behind you.

Magnetic Shielding
Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set
must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent
picture distortion. Center speaker provided with
this unit is magnetically shielded to protect your

Dolby Digital
The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital
surround from software processed in the Dolby
Digital format. Dolby Digital provides better
sound quality and a more powerful presence
than conventional Dolby Surround. This unit is
equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel so that
you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround
sound. Different from Dolby ProLogic in that only
four channels (Front Left, Front Right, Centre and
Rear) are used, the new system provides stereo
separation of the rear speakers (Rear-Right, RearLeft). Adding the subwoofer channel to the 5
channels for bass sounds (counted as 0.1 channel)
results in 5.1 channels (or 6 Channels) input Dolby
Digital for that bring you the most sophisticated
sound enjoyment.
