PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING
SUBWOOFER
Sound spreads in all directions in the very low frequency range. Human hearing cannot easily detect the source of very low frequencies. Be sure to provide a space of at least 8 inches (20 cm) between the rear of the subwoofer and the nearest wall.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any connections.
FRONT / CENTER / SURROUND / SUBWOOFER SPEAKERS
Correct wiring of your loudspeakers is essential for achieving the best sound quality. Be careful to ensure proper polarity of connection.
FRONT SPEAKERS
For best results the loudspeakers should be separated a distance approximately equal to the listening distance. Angling the loudspeakers inward towards the listener will improve the image stability for non-central listeners. Close proximity to a side or rear wall will enhance the midbass performance, although too close (particularly a corner location) and the bass may be unnaturally high and image performance may be degraded.
Twist and pull off the protective shields on each wire.
CENTER SPEAKER
Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the receiver.
To connect, insert the colored wire into the matching positive (colored) terminal and the other wire into the negative (black) terminal as shown below. Note that the color-coded tabs are as follows: � Red : Front right (R) � Purple : Subwoofer � White : Front left (L) � Grey : Surround right (R) � Green : Center speaker � Blue : Surround left (L) The loudspeaker should be positioned below the TV. For best results align the front of the loudspeaker with the front of the TV. If the loudspeaker is placed under the TV and very close to the floor, then tilting upwards may be beneficial. When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.

Assembling the speaker stands and securing your front and surround speakers Attach the speaker stand bases to the stems using the screws provided. Once you have aligned the stem and base, secure with the small screws at the points shown below. Note that the speaker should face in the direction of the base of the isosceles triangle (outlined below).
