Speaker Placement - Yamaha YHT-693 Owner's Manual

This speaker system consists of front, center and surround speakers.
— Front speaker placement should be separated by a distance of 6–10ft. If they are placed too close together,
there will be a reduction in the stereo effect. Conversely, If placed too for apart, the so called "middle-
omission" effect will occur and the vocal center fill will be lost. Height of the speaker should be at least at ear
level.
— Center channel speakers should be placed centered above or below the TV.
— Surround speakers should ideally be placed behind the listening area, at least as far apart as the front
speakers and up to 2 additional feet apart per side. The height of the speaker should be at a minimum of ear
level or preferably somewhat higher.
