Notethe speakerlevelsarepre-setat the factoryand most peoplewill
not need tofine tune the sound of eachspeaker. Wesuggestyou skip

Although all 5 satellites are of the same size,the speakers inside the
cabinets are different. The speaker wires onthe back of the cabinets
are colour-coded, as are the speaker terminals on theback of the main
unit. Refer to the connection diagram on page 5.
For best surround sound effects, all 5 of the satellite speakers should
be roughly at the same distance from your usual listening position.
