Place the front speakers to the
sides of the monitor or screen and
as flush with the screen surface as
possible.

and right speakers. It is also recommended that the deviations of the distance from the listening position
to L and R channel speakers (front left (FL) and front right (FR), surround left (SL) and surround right (SR),
surround back left (SBL) and surround back right (SBR)) is less than 60 cm.
