help on
designing
your home
theater
set-up.
This isjust a genera[ room design.
Any number of set-ups are possible,
and some changes may be needed
to maximize your sound.
A left and right speaker on either
side of the Entertainment Machine
will create a phantom "center
channe!,_' making the dialog sound
a_"_h_6_h-it'_s_'coming direct[_ from
th_ Entertainment Machine. The rear
surround sound speakers provide
the majority of other sounds, Like
those from special effects in movies.
Your sub-woofer generates uLtra-low
frequency sound, for rumbling
tow-end audio.
Sound is affected by
speaker placement, so
make sure nothing is in
front of the speakers, and
that they are aimed in
appropriate directions.
