Placing Speakers

Determine the locations for your speaker placement according to their manufacturer's directions and the layout of
your listening room. Use the illustration on page 13 as a guide for speaker placement.
To create the most realistic surround-sound environment possible, you should place your speakers in a circle around
the listener. You should angle each speaker so it directly faces the listening position. Use the diagram below as a
guide.

Note
• If you're using only one surround back speaker,
connect it to the surround back left speaker
terminals.
• Front high and surround back speakers cannot
be used at the same time.
• To avoid interference with the TV picture when
using a conventional TV, use only magnetically
shielded front left, right, and center speakers.
• To obtain the best surround effects, all the
speakers except the subwoofer should be full
range speakers.

Front left and right speakers and center speaker
• Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as
flush to the TV or monitor screen as possible.
• Place the center speaker between the front left and
right speakers and its distance should not be further
from the listener than the front speakers.
• Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at where
listener's ears would be in the main listening position.
Surround left and right speakers
• Place the surround speakers approximately 60 ~
90 cm (24 ~ 36 inches) above on the direct left/
right side or slightly behind the ear level of a seated
listener.
