Install speakers and connect them to this unit (vpage20, 23).
Speaker installation
Determine the speaker system depending on the number of speakers you are using and install each speaker and subwoofer in the room. Here, we explain
how to install the speakers using a typical example.
FHL FHR
FL FR
SW
C
SL SR
SBL SB SBR
FL/FR : Place the FRONT left and right speakers an equal distance from
the main listening position. The distance between each speaker
and your TV should also be the same.
C: Place the CENTER speaker in between the front speakers and above
or below your TV.
SL/SR : Place the SURROUND left and right speakers an equal distance
to the left and right sides of the main listening position. If you
don’t have Surround Back speakers, move the surround speakers
slightly behind your listening position.
SBL/SBR (SB) : Place the SURROUND BACK left and right speakers
an equal distance from the main listening position and
directly behind the main listening position. If you only
have one Surround Back speaker, center it.
FHL/FHR : Place the FRONT HEIGHT left and right speakers just outside
of the front left and right speakers. Mount them as close to the
ceiling as possible and aim them towards the main listening
position.
SW : Place the SUBWOOFER at a convenient location near the front
speakers.
