C
Note
Do not place the center speaker farther away from the
listening position than the front speakers.
Tip
When setting up the surround back speaker, set the
speaker at least 3 feet behind the listening position. It
is recommended to place the speaker at an equal
distance from the surround left and right speakers. If
there is no space behind the listening position, set the
speaker above the listening position by placing it on a
stand or hanging it from the ceiling. To prevent
speaker damage or injury in case the speaker falls,
make sure that it is properly fixed in place.
