Surround back left and right speakers
• Place the surround back speakers at the back facing
forward together and closer than front speakers.
• When using a single surround back speaker, place it
at the rear center facing forward at a slightly higher
position (0 to 20 cm) than the surround speakers.
• We recommend installing the surround back
speaker(s) facing slightly. This effectively prevents
the surround back channel signals from bouncing
off the TV or screen at the front center, resulting in
interference and making the sense of movement
from the front to the back less sharp.
Subwoofer
Because a room's shape and volume can have a
dramatic effect on a subwoofer's performance, you
should experiment with placement in order to find the
location that produces the best results in your particular
listening room. With that in mind, these rules will help
you get started.
• Placing the subwoofer next to a wall generally will
increase the amount of bass in the room.
• Placing the subwoofer in a corner generally will
maximize the amount of bass in the room.
• In many rooms, placing the subwoofer along the
same plane as the left and right speakers can
produce the best integration between the sound of
the subwoofer and that of the left and right speakers.

placing the subwoofer behind the listener. A good
way to determine the best location for the subwoofer
is by temporarily placing it in the listening position
and playing music with strong bass content. Move
around to various locations in the room while the
system is playing (putting your ears where the
subwoofer would be placed), and listen until you find
the location where the bass performance is best.
Place the subwoofer in that location.
