Front Speakers ei
Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards\
 (about 45°) 
toward you. Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height 
as your ear. Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the 
centre speaker or place them slightly in front of the centre speakers.
Centre Speaker fIt is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers. You c\
an also install it 
directly over or under the TV.
Surround Speakershj
Place these speakers to the side of your listening position. If there isn't enough 
room, place these speakers so they face each other. Place them about 60 \
to 
90cm above your ear, facing slightly downward.
*   Unlike the front and centre speakers, the surround speakers are used to \
handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the ti\
me.
Subwoofer gThe position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you \
like.
This section involves various methods of connecting the product to other\
 external components. 
Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power a\
nd disconnect the power cord.
