Speaker configuration
This system employs a 6 speaker configuration: 2 front
speakers, 2 rear speakers, a center speaker and a
subwoofer.
The front speakers are used for the main source sound
plus the effect sounds. The rear speakers are used for
the effect and surround sounds, and the center speaker
is for the center sounds (dialog etc.). The subwoofer is
for reinforcing low frequencies of the main source sound
and the center sounds.
Placing speakers
Front speakers: On both sides of the TV and in
almost the same height as the TV.
Rear speakers: Behind your listening position,
facing slightly inward. Nearly six
feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the
floor.
Center speaker: Precisely between the front
speakers.
Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not
so critical because low bass tones
are not highly directional.
