Setting Up a Home Theatre System
Placement
Front and Effects Channels: The front loudspeakers are placed
on either side of
the television
screen,
2 to
3
metres apart. The
speakers should
be angled slightly so
they
car
aimed towards the listeners.
We recommend placing the rear
effects speakers
in a high position, behind the listener's head. If the rear
or side walls
are a long
way
from the
listening
seat, consider stand
mounting the loudspeakers. If the centre loudspeaker is
very
high
or
low,
angle
it towards the listener's
ear
level.
The
front faces
of
the
centre and surround
loudspeakers
should also
be in line
as
far as possible.
Subwoofer:
As
the
ear
is unable to detect the direction from
which
deep bass
originates, you
have freedom to position the unit.
Varying
the
distance
from the wall
alters
the bass. Placing the
subwoofer
across
a corner
boosts the bass but may impair clarity. The performance
of
a home
theatre
system can
be
enhanced
by using two
subwoofers.
6.1 and 7.1
System
Placement
Dolby Labs, DTS and THX offer
6.1 and
7.1
format.
Although
the precise
configuration of
these
systems
will depend
on
the
capabilities of your
processor
and you should
be
guided
by those
instructions,
we would
make
some observation.
For 6.1 and 7.1
formats the listening
seat should
not be too close to
the rear
wall.
Optimising
the time delay
so
that information from
all speakers
arrives
the listening
seat coherently
is critical
of
the benefits
of
these
systems are
to be fully realised.
