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.
