CAUTION
Be careful to make sure children do not put their hands or any objects into the *speaker duct.*Speaker duct : A hole for plentiful bass sound on speaker cabinet (enclosure).
Positioning the System
The following illustration shows an example of 
positioning the system.
Note that the illustrations in these instructions 
differ from the actual unit for explanation 
purposes.
For the best possible surround sound, all the 
speakers other than the subwoofer should be 
placed at the same distance from the listening 
position (A).
A  
Front left speaker (L)/ B Front right speaker 
(R): 
Place the front speakers to the sides of the 
monitor or screen and as flush with the 
screen surface as possible.
C   
Center speaker: Place the center speaker 
above or below the monitor or screen.
D   
Surround left speaker (L)/ E Surround right 
speaker (R): 
Place these speakers behind your listening 
position, facing slightly inwards.
F   
Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer 
is not so critical, because low bass sounds 
are not highly directional. But it is better 
to place the subwoofer near the front 
speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center 
of the room to reduce the wall reflections.
