Connecting speakers Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
Place these speakers behind your listening position. If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they
face each other. Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your
ears, facing slightly downward. Unlike the front and center speakers, the surround
speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.
Surround Speakers
SL SR
SBL SBR
Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45) toward you.
Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ears.
Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speaker.
Front Speakers
It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers. You can also install it directly over or under the TV.
Center speaker
Place AV Receiver on a dedicated stand or rack.
Position of AV Receiver
When you attach the speakers to a wall, make sure to fasten them tightly so they do not fall off.
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.
Subwoofer
If you are using two rear center speakers, place them facing forward from behind the listening position.
Place the surround back speaker about 70 cm to 1 m (2.3~3.3feet) above surround speakers, facing slightly downwards.
Surround Back Speakers SBL SBR
1 Connect the SW OUT terminal of the amplifier (AV-R720) to the INPUT terminal of the subwoofer speaker.
