PLACING AN HDLCR AS THE CENTER-CHANNEL SPEAKER
The center-channel speaker is the workhorse in a home theater system. It handles all of the critical
dialog and is vitally important in creating the illusion of sounds emanating directly from the picture.
Here are some tips for obtaining optimum center-channel performance:
• In a typical installation, place the HDLCR horizontally, directly above the television or
projection screen. Try to insure that the speaker is not placed too high relative to the
left and right speaker, as shown in Figure 3.

placed below a TV, install the HDLCR with the tweeter down.
