The details below show various sys-
tems incorporating the loudspeakers, with
a subwoofer to handle the low frequency
range.
Ideally, all of the surround loudspeak-
ers in a home theater system should
be of the same make and model, and
positioned at similar heights to produce a
smooth and continuous soundfi eld.
Ideally, the loudspeakers should be
placed no closer than 1 to 3 feet from
the rear and side walls. If your loud-
speakers are closer than this, you can
set the Boundary Compensation switch
to "Wall." You can also experiment by
adding sound dead en ing material such
as drapes on the walls to reduce any
unwanted refl ections.
Set the Boundary Compensation
switch to "Room" if the loudspeakers are
away from the walls, such as on speaker
stands.
Front Left/Right Speak ers
The front left and right loudspeak-
ers should be positioned so that your
TV screen is exactly centered between
them. This will help focus your attention
towards the screen.
Your left loudspeaker should be set
exactly the same distance and angle
away from your listening position as the
right loudspeaker.
If you have a smaller TV, the loud-
speakers should be no more than two
feet away from the sides of the TV.
If you have a Sunfi re or Carver system
equipped with Sonic Holography, then
it is rec om mend ed that you use a tape
measure to set the left and right loud-
speakers to be an equal distance away
from your listening position, within half
an inch tolerance. (Sonic Holography is a
unique pro cess designed by Bob Carver
to enhance the three-di men sion al effects
and realism of stereo sound.)
The Center Loudspeaker
Most movie dialog will come from the
center loudspeaker, so careful positioning
is an important part of a good home the-
ater sys tem. Your eyes and ears should
focus your attention towards the center of
the screen.
The CRM-2C center loudspeaker can
sit on top, or directly underneath the TV,
as long as it is located on the centerline
and not off to one side.
Position the front face of the loud-
speaker close to the front edge of the TV
cabinet. (The sound waves may other-
wise refl ect off the top of the TV cabinet
and distort the center im ag ing.)
If pos si ble, have the center, left and
right loudspeakers at the same height
(within two feet). This will help give a
smooth transition when sound effects
move from loudspeaker to loudspeaker.
We recommend that you keep the
CRM-2C grill on, as it is part of the
acoustic lens design of the loudspeaker.
