Speaker Placement; Enjoying Surround Sounds - Sherwood Newcastle R-925 Operating Instructions Manual

Speaker placement

To obtain the best surround sound effect in your home, place the
speakers as follows;
Front speakers : Place each front speaker about 1m (40") from the TV
set.
Center speaker : Place the center speaker either above or below the
TV set to assure good visualization of center
channel program.
Rear speakers : Place the rear speakers approximately 1m above the
ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or
slightly behind.
Subwoofer : Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds. Place a
powered subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.
The ideal surround system needs all the speakers listed above.
However, if you don't have a center speaker, a subwoofer or rear
speakers, select the best possible surround mode with the available
speakers.
Note: To avoid interference with the TV picture, use only magnetically
shielded center and front speakers.

Surround sound effect will not work properly if the signal passes through a graphic equalizer.
Please refer to your equalizer operating instructions for guidance on switching off (or defeating) the equalizer.
