Where you put your speakers in the room has a
big effect on the quality of the sound. The
following guidelines should help you to get the
best sound from your system.
• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor.
Ideally, the other speakers should be at
about ear-level when you're listening to
them. Putting the speakers on the floor
(except the subwoofer), or mounting them
very high on a wall is not recommended.
• For the best stereo effect, place the front
speakers 2–3 m apart, at equal distance
from the TV.
• Install the center speaker above or below
the TV so that the sound of the center
channel is localized at the TV screen.
• When using a 5-spot setup, install the
surround speakers slightly above ear level,
if possible.
