The subwoofer handles the bass sounds
of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects)

Front left and right speakers
(SKF-360F

These output the overall sound. Their
role in a home theater is to provide a
solid anchor for the sound image. They
should be positioned facing the listener
at about ear level, and equally spaced
from the TV. Angle them inward.

equally spaced from the listener.
