Notes
• Make sure the plus (+) and the minus (–) terminals on the speakers are matched to the corresponding the plus
(+) and the minus (–) terminals on the amplifier.
• Be sure to tighten the screws of the speaker terminals securely since loose screws may become a source of
noise.
• Make sure all connections are firm. Contact between bare speaker wires at the speaker terminals may cause a
short-circuit.
• Do not connect the subwoofer to the amplifier’s CENTER output terminal (which is for Dolby Pro Logic or
Dolby Digital (AC-3)). No bass will output from the subwoofer if you do.
• For details regarding the connections on the amplifier side, refer to the manual that was provided with your
amplifier.
Tip
It is convenient to remember that all striped wires are minus (–) in polarity and should be connected to the
minus (–) speaker terminals.

Positioning the
speakers
Location of each
speaker
AA
BB
*SA-VE705 only
Each speaker should face the listening
position. Better surround effect will result if
all speakers are set at the same distance from
the listening position.
Place the front speakers at a suitable distance
to the left and right of the television.
Place the subwoofer on either side of the
television.
Place the center speaker on the top-center of
the TV set.
The placement of rear speakers greatly
depends on the configuration of the room.
The rear speakers may be placed on both
sides of the listening position Aor behind
the listening position B.
Tips
• Movies are best enjoyed in a room that produces
no echoes (as in one with surrounding curtains).
• Music (especially classical music) is best enjoyed
in a room that produces some echo.
• Adjust the height of the front speakers so that it
corresponds with the center of the TV screen, as
illustrated below.
Positioning the front
(and rear) speakers
Attach the front (and rear) speakers to
supplied speaker stands and place them at
their optimum locations.
For details on the location of the front (and
rear) speakers, see “Location of each speaker”
on this page.
1Detach the plate from the stand.
2Pass the speaker cord into the hole
on the back of the stand and out
from the hole at the center of the
stand.

Positioning the speakers
(continued) Positioning the center
speaker
(SA-VE705 only)

listener. Adjust the angle of the speaker
stand for that purpose.
1Pass the speaker cord into the hole
on the back of the stand and out
from the hole at the center of the
stand.
