Speaker Placement - Onkyo HTP-L50 Instruction Manual

Speaker placement

Layout of your speaker system
Satellite speakers
• Front left/right speakers and center speakers
These three speakers should be placed in front of the
listener.
All three speakers should be placed at the same level.
Placement should be such so that the speakers all aim at the
ears of the listener when the listener is listening to music or
watching the screen. The center speakers enhance the sound
effects from the two front speakers and add clarity to
movements in the sound for a much richer sound image.
• Surround left/right speakers
Surround speakers should be placed to the side of the
listener or behind the listener. These speakers produce
sound movements in all directions, create a sound
environment that reflects the background, and create the
sensation of being in the middle of the action.
Subwoofer
The subwoofer can be installed anywhere in the room, but in
most situations you will obtain the best results by placing the
subwoofer to the side near a corner of the room. The quality
and level of the bass sounds from the subwoofer will differ
depending on the location where the subwoofer is placed and
the layout of the room, so it is recommended to place the
subwoofer in several locations and find the position that
provides the best results.

Installation using commercially-available stands and
fixtures
The speaker bottom and rear are equipped with screw holes so
that you can attach commercially-available stands or
mounting fixtures for a variety of mounting options. (Two M5
screw holes, 60 mm pitch on the bottom and one M5 screw
hole on the rear.)
Note:
When attaching an accessory item
to a speaker, be careful of the
length of the screws used. Use
only screws that provide the
required strength with a screw
length between 7 and 12 mm.
Using spacers
Attaching the supplied spacers is recommended for obtaining
the best sound quality. Also, by attaching the provided
spacers, the speakers will not slide easily for a more stable
installation.
