All Home-Theater systems must have a subwoofer in order to let each
speaker do its job properly. Low-frequency sounds put too much stress
on regular speakers and this shortens the speakers life as well.
EACH SPEAKER DOES A
PARTICULAR FUNCTION
The left and right loudspeakers carry the majority of the film’s
musical score and many of the sound effects; the center-speaker
makes
sure onscreen sounds such as voices come from the screen.
SAVE THE PACKAGING IN
CASE OF RETURNS
When shopping for new loud-speakers, hold on to the original packaging
at least for the first week or so. Do this in case that the speakers
do not perform in a satisfactory manner and they have to be returned
to the electronics shop.

GET SHIELDED SPEAKERS
FOR HOME-THEATER SYSTEMS
Speakers made specifically for
Home-Theater systems are shielded;
Shielded is a feature that uses a metal shield inside the enclosure of
the speaker to prevent the magnetic energy inside from getting out and
damaging analog TV screens or similar electronics.
MATCH THE RECEIVER'S
POWER TO THE SPEAKERS HANDLING
When choosing speakers, match their impedance to the power amplifier
or receiver; plugging speakers that can handle little power to a
powerful receiver will only damage the speakers when
too much volume
is applied to them.
