speaker positioning
standing speakers), or in corners. The speaker drivers
should be at, or a little above, ear level when seated.
If possible, centre your seating area between the
surround speakers.
The final sound will depend on the acoustics of
the listening room and experimenting with speaker
positioning is very worthwhile.
Subwoofer
The location of the subwoofer (Low Frequency Effects
speaker) will affect the overall sound quality. Placing the
subwoofer next to a wall or in a corner will often boost
efficiency and give a cleaner low bass sound. However,
all rooms react differently and we recommend that you
experiment with subwoofer positioning.
Speaker stands
The more firmly a speaker is held, the better it will
sound. We recommend the use of rigid metal stands of
40–60cms height. Properly damped types that do not
‘ring’ when tapped with a pencil (either by virtue of
construction, or because they are filled with dry silver
sand) will bring out the best in a speaker. Ensure that
the stands and/or speakers do not wobble.

Connecting speakers
Solo Movie 5.1 is designed to drive a set of five full-
bandwidth speakers, rated between 4 and 8 ohms.
The unit is fitted with speaker terminals that can
accept either spade terminals or bare wires.
The five full-bandwidth speakers are: LS (Left
Surround), L (Left), C (Centre), R (Right) and RS
(Right Surround). An active subwoofer may be
connected to the SUB output. To place the speakers
in your listening room, see the panel below.
To connect each of the five speakers, unscrew
the corresponding terminals on the back of Solo
Movie 5.1, insert the speaker wires (or spades)
and screw the terminals back up. Make sure
that the red (positive/+) terminal of the speaker
is connected to the red (positive/+) terminal
on the back panel, and the black (negative/–)
terminal of the speaker is connected to the black
(negative/–) terminal on the back panel.
It is important that no stray strands of wire from
these connections are allowed to touch another cable
or the product casing. Failure to ensure this can cause
a short circuit and damage your Solo Movie 5.1.
Do not over-tighten the loudspeaker terminals, or use a
wrench, pliers, etc., as this could damage the terminals
and this would not be covered under warranty.
Speaker cables
The speakers should be connected to the amplifier
using good-quality, high-purity, copper cables. Solid
core cables, or those with surface-only conductors,
are particularly suitable. Bell wire and very cheap
speaker cables should be avoided – they are a false
economy and can significantly degrade the sound
quality.
The cable runs to the two speakers should be of
roughly equal length and yet as short as practicable.
Connections to the speaker terminals should
always be tight, whether using bare wires or spade
connectors, but do not use tools such as pliers,
wrenches or spanners to tighten the connectors as
these may cause damage to the terminals.
speakers
The advice given here is a general guideline for setting up speakers.
Refer to the documentation supplied with your speakers for
more precise positioning and installation information, and see
www.dolby.com/consumer/home_entertainment/roomlayout.html for
useful information on listening-room layouts.
Room acoustics
Your room’s shape and how it is furnished will affect the sound you
hear. For instance, too many bare surfaces can cause reflections that
may add harshness to the sound. Carpets, wall-hangings and curtains
can all help.
If you have a choice of listening rooms, avoid one that is perfectly
square or has one dimension exactly twice another. Such a room can
aggravate resonances that colour the sound.
The closer you place a speaker to corners and the intersection of
wall and floor or wall and ceiling, the stronger the bass output, which
may over-emphasise the bass. Moving a speaker just a few inches can
sometimes make a big difference.
Speaker setup
Proper speaker placement is the key to the best home theatre sound
(see diagram).
As a rough guide, speakers should be placed on rigid stands at about
15cms from the rear wall and at least 60cms from any side wall.
Speakers should never be placed on the floor (unless they are floor-
