5. Setup

5.1. Speaker Placement

Optimal speaker placement is crucial for the best surround sound experience:

Subwoofer: Place the subwoofer on the floor, ideally in a corner or near a wall for enhanced bass.
Center Speaker: Position the center speaker directly above or below your TV/monitor, facing the listening area.
Front Speakers (FL/FR): Place the front left and right speakers equidistant from your TV/monitor, forming an equilateral triangle with your main listening position.
Surround Speakers (SL/SR): Place the surround left and right speakers to the sides or slightly behind your main listening position, at ear level or slightly above.

5.2. Connecting Speakers

Connect the satellite speakers to the corresponding RCA outputs on the rear panel of the subwoofer. Ensure each speaker is connected to its correct channel (FL, FR, CEN, SL, SR). The included RCA cables for the satellite speakers are approximately 1.5 meters long. For larger rooms or specific placements, you may need to acquire longer RCA extension cables.

5.3. Connecting Audio Sources

The system offers multiple input options:

5.1 Channel Input (DVD AUDIO INPUT): Use the three included RCA cables to connect your DVD player, Blu-ray player, or other 5.1 channel source to the corresponding FL/FR, CEN/SW, and SL/SR inputs on the subwoofer.
Stereo Input (AUX AUDIO INPUT): Use the included AUX cable to connect a 2-channel audio source (e.g., laptop, CD player, MP3 player) to the AUX RCA inputs.
USB/SD Card: Insert a USB flash drive or SD card into the respective port on the subwoofer's front panel for direct media playback.

5.4. Power Connection
