locations

When you place your speakers according to the guidelines below, a combination of reflected

and direct sound provides a lifelike stereo image virtually everywhere in the room. You may

experiment with the placement and orientation of the Jewel Cube

mass

module to produce the sound most pleasing to you.

For more discussion of speaker placement and room acoustics, see "Fine-tuning your

system" on page 28.

Jewel Cube speakers

Follow these guidelines to select locations that provide the maximum stereo effect from your

Lifestyle

40 music system (Figure 2).

1. For the most lifelike sound, place the Jewel Cube speakers 6-12 feet (1.8-3.6 m) apart.

They can be as close as 3 feet (1 m) or as far apart as 15 feet (4.6 m).

2. Place the Jewel Cube speakers 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) from the surface behind them.

3. Direct one cube of each speaker toward the center of the room. Direct the other cube

toward a side wall to create reflected sound.

CAUTION: Choose a stable and level surface for your Jewel Cube speakers. Vibration can

cause the speakers to move, particularly on very smooth surfaces. For stability, peel off the

backing from the two identical rubber feet and center them in the matching shapes on the

bottom of each speaker.

Note: The Jewel Cube speakers are magnetically shielded so you can place them close to

the TV without af fecting picture quality.

Note: If you put the speakers in a bookcase unit, be sure to place each one at the front

edge of the shelf. Placing speakers in an enclosed space can change the tonal quality of the

sound. This effect is minimized if the shelves are filled with books.
