POSITIONNING

speakers have all the same technical features; they can

be used on any channel. All the speakers are magnetically

shielded to prevent interference with the image of your televi-

sion set; they can thus be placed near any screen.

No solid object or piece of

furniture should be placed between

the speakers and the listener.

Front left and right speakers must be directed towards the lis-

tening area and placed on either side of the screen with at

least a distance of 7 ft and 16 ft (2 and 5 m) between the 2

speakers.

The

centre satellite should be placed as close as possible to

the screen: on the top, below, or directly on your television

set. Place the satellite at the vertical of the screen for a perfect

cohesion and precision between dialogues and picture.

Surround speakers should be placed against the side walls,

at listening height or higher if possible and slightly behind the

listening area.

The

subwoofer should be placed in the front listening

area. To get the best result, it is always necessary to carry out

tests according to the acoustics of the room. To prevent inter-

ference with the screen of your television set, place the sub-

woofer at least 2 ft (0.6m) of your television set.

channels of your AV amplifier are taken directly from the AV

amplifier with the MAX module and directed with one of the

CINCH cable to the MAX IN input of the subwoofer. For the

MAX module, cables are standardized; they can be connected

to any speaker's outputs of the amplifier. It is absolutely nec-
