Placing Your Speakers

Place the speakers as shown in the diagram below While
you're setting the speakers up, keep these points in mind'

- lt the supwooter causes discoloration oi the TV picture move
it away from the TV until the discoloration disappears

- Since the center speaker is magnetically shielded you can
place it right on top of the TV Without worrying about picture
discoloration

- You can hang the surround speakers on the wall uSing heavy
duty picturerhangers

- Placrng the suowooter next to a wall yields more deep bass
output than placrng it away trom a wad. Placrng the SUD-
wooter in a corner yields the deepest pass output overalr

Connecting Your Speakers

into AC outlets until you have properly connected all at the speakers.

have ore-stripped the insulation trom the ends of the wrre.
