6 nMain speakers NX-VS10M Place the main speakers an equal distance from each side of the TV monitor. Placing the main speakers at almost the same height as your listening position is more effective. nYAMAHA center speaker NX-VS10C (sold separately) Place the center speaker on top of the television and align the front surface of the speaker with the front surface of the television monitor. If the speaker cannot be placed on top of the television, place it on a rack beneath the television as close to the television monitor as possible. nYAMAHA rear speakers NX-VS10E (sold separately) Depending on room conditions, it is possible to place YAMAHA rear speakers NX-VS10E on shelves or hang them on the wall. Speakers should be placed about 1.5 m above the floor when you sit on the floor, or about 1.8 m above the floor when you sit on the chair. nYAMAHA subwoofer SW-VS10 (sold separately) Place the subwoofer at the outside of the either right or left main speaker and turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections. Try altering the position of the subwoofer versus the listening position as the relative position will affect the way the bass sounds. CAUTION Although these main speakers are magnetically shielded, they may still affect the color on the television monitor when using the speakers near the television. Adjust the relative positions of the speakers and the television if this happen. Perform the following steps if you are using a magnetically shielded television. 1 Turn off the television. 2 Wait awhile and turn the television back on. You can also use the screw holes on the bottom of the main speakers for installing the speakers on commercially available speaker stands. SPEAKER PLACEMENT Although speakers should ideally be placed as shown below, satisfactory effects may be obtained even if you do not strictly follow these guidelines. 1.5 - 1.8 m Right rear speaker Rear speakers (sold separately) Place behind or to the sides of the listening position. Left rear speaker Subwoofer (sold separately) Place near the right or left main speaker.Center speaker (sold separately) Place above the TV monitor in the center. Main speakers Place in each side of the TV monitor. About 1.8 m About 1.5 m When sitting on the floor. When sitting on the chair. 60 mmA screw with a diameter of 4 mm can be used. (Hole depth: 8 mm)
