Setting Up Speakers and Audio Components

From , former About.com Guide

Unpack and place the left and right channel stereo speakers according to these placement guidelines. Unpack and set up the receiver (or amplifier) and source components (DVD, CD, tape player) on a shelf or entertainment center with the rear panels accessible. At this point, make sure the components are not plugged into the wall and are turned off. Open the Owner’s Manual(s) to the pages describing setup and installation for reference. Rear panel diagrams may be helpful.

Note: It is a good idea to save all packing materials and cartons in the event of a defective speaker or component and for future transport.
