B. LOCA TION A W A Y FROM REFLECTING SURF A CES Y our speakers should be located, whene v er practical, a w a y from walls, the floor , fur niture, or any other reflecting surf aces. Do the best you can. Objects close to the speaker will reflect sound, and this reflected sound arrives at y our ear slightly later than the direct sound. This dela y i[...]

T ry to follo w the f or mula as close as you can. Y ou can fine tune the placement b y listening to a source with an image (such as a vocalist) centered betw een the speakers .

If they cannot be located e xactly adjacent to the seating area, it is better f or them to be located slightly towards the bac k of the room, or on the back/rear w all behind the listening position, rather than in the front of the room.

Goo[...]

The speakers should be a minim um of a fe w f eet awa y from the nearest listener . If the speaker is located too close to a listener , its sound will become too directional and may distract that listener . Ideally , the surround speakers should not call attention to themselv es and should not be audible as separate sources of sound. If the surroun[...]

Pla y a familiar CD or D VD with steady , consistent bass content through y our system. Listen carefully to the "mid-bass" region of 75 - 125 Hz. This is the par t of the spectrum where electric or str ing basses and drums predominate. Then re verse the phase of either the subw oofer or BO TH Main speakers . If your Subw oofer has a PHASE[...]

When this happens, the sound becomes harsh and gr ating, and a break-up is often audib le in the bass frequencies. It will become uncomfortable to listen to , especially when compared to a slightly lower volume le vel. When y ou are listening at high volume le v els, be aw are of the onset of clipping distor tion, and turn the volume down slightly [...]

If it is in the back of the room, place the subw oofer in a bac k cor ner . If possible , av oid cor ners near doorwa ys or openings. B. If you are willing to e xper iment, another option is to place the subwoof er at the listening position and walk around the room. Stand in and near each corner .

A. If the component has high-pass filters f or the Left, Center , and Right channels (usually only THX components have these filters), they should be turned on or set to THX (if you hav e a choice, use the frequency closest to 100Hz - 120 Hz for Xenon series speakers . The surround channels in a Pro-Logic only system do not hav e switchable filters[...]
