No nmtter how many speakers you use, a powered sub-
woofer is recommended for a really powerfld and solid
bass.
To get the best from your surround-sound system, you
need to set the speaker settings by using the supplied
setup microphone (see page 39).
Using Dipole Speakers
You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and
right and surround hack left and right speakers. Dipole
speakers output the same sound in two directions.
Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them
to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround
left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that
their arrows point toward the TV/screen, while the sur-
round left and right dipolar speakers should be positioned
so that their arrows point toward each other, as shown.
