For best possible surround sound, all the  
speakers (except the subwoofer) should be  
placed at the same distance from the listening  
position.  
1 Before connecting the speakers to the DVD  
system, firmly attach the mini speaker stands to  
the front and the surround speakers using the  
supplied screws.  
OR  
1 Place the front left and right speakers at equal  
distances from theTV and at an angle of  
approximately 45 degrees from the listening  
position.  
2 Alternatively, you can choose to mount the  
speakers on the wall. Attach the supplied  
bracket firmly to the rear of the speakers using  
the supplied screws. Then mount a screw (not  
supplied) on the wall where the speaker is to be  
hung and hook the speaker securely onto the  
mounted screw.  
2 Place the center speaker above theTV or the  
DVD system so that the center channels sound  
is localized.  
3 Place the surround speakers at normal listening  
ear level facing each other or mounted on the  
wall.  
CAUTION!  
You should get a qualified person to  
attach the brackets to the wall. DO  
NOT do it by yourself to avoid  
unexpected damage to the equipment  
or injury to personnel.  
4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near theTV.  
Notes:  
To avoid magnetic interference, do not position  
the front speakers too close to yourTV.  
– Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD  
system.
