Not applicable to the DCS-FS30 model
Depending on the size and characteristics of
your room, you can place your speakers in one
of two ways using this system. For the speaker
configuration, see the Setup Guide.

5 spot/4 spot speaker layout

This is a standard multichannel surround sound
speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel home
1
theater sound.

3 spot/2 spot speaker layout

This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker
placement isn't possible or you want to avoid
running long speaker cables in your listening
2
area.

The layouts of the 5/4 spot speaker and 3/2 spot
speaker are the same:
Assembling the speaker stands
• Attach the speaker stand bases to the
stems using the screws provided.
Once you have aligned the stem and base,
secure with the small screws at the points see
the Setup Guide. Note that the speaker should
face in the direction of the base of the isosceles
triangle.
CAUTION
• Be careful not to tighten screws
excessively.
• If excessive force is used to tighten screws,
the threads of screw and/or nut may be
damaged. Use a middle-sized manual
screwdriver during assembly.
• Do not use power screwdrivers or oversized
screwdrivers that may exert excessive force
on the screws and nuts.
• Confirm that no foreign matter is stuck to
the stand base or the tall speaker during
assembly.
• If the unit is assembled with foreign matter
stuck between the stand base and the tall
speaker the unit may not be assembled
securely, resulting in tipping or falling.
• Do not stand on the speaker stand base of
the tall speaker to push or swing the
speaker. The speaker may fall and break, or
someone may be injured. Pay special
attention to children.
