Front Left Speaker Left Speaker Right Speaker Back Surround Right Speaker Back Surround Left Speaker System Configuration Subwoofers produce largely nondirectional sound so they may be placed almost anywhere in a room Actual placement should be based on room size and shape and the type of subwoofer used One method of finding the optimal location for a subwoofer is to begin by placing it in the front of the room about 15cm from a wall or near the front corner of the room Another method is to temporarily place the subwoofer in the spot where you will normally sit and then walk around the room until you find a spot where the subwoofer sounds best Place the subwoofer in that spot You should also follow the instructions of the subwoofer s manufacturer or you may wish to experiment with the best location for a subwoofer in your listening room Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected the remaining steps are to pro gram the system configuration memories Although it is necessary to assign input output settings and surround mode choices manually we recommend that you take advantage of the power and precision of EzSet EQ to automatical ly select and enter the settings for all other audio parameters This will not only save you time it will ensure that your room is calibrated and egualized with an accuracy not possible when these settings are made manually You are now ready to pow
