LOFT20
You should place the LOFT20 center speaker directly above or below the center of your TV screen. The speaker's
tweeter should be no more than 2 feet (61cm) above or below the tweeters of the front left and front right speakers. If
your TV set is deep enough, you can set the center speaker on top of the TV, with the speaker's front edge even with
the TV's front edge.
NOTE: The LOFT20 is magnetically shielded, so you can place it next to a CRT TV without causing picture distortion/
discoloration.

LOFT40/LOFT30 – SuRROuND CHANNELS (5.1-CHANNEL SySTEm)
When you use LOFT40 or LOFT30 speakers as surround-channel speakers in a 5.1-channel system, place them
slightly behind the listening position, facing each other. Ideally, they should be 3 – 4 feet (0.9m – 1.2m) above the floor.
An alternate location would be on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround speakers should
not call attention to themselves while they're playing. Experiment with their placement until you hear a diffuse, ambient
sound accompanying the sounds that you hear from the front left, front right and center speakers.
