Positioning the speakers
The effective area of surround sound will vary depending on the sound field selection (FOCUS
SURROUND or WIDE STAGE). You can change the sound field setting for optimal front surround
sound effect.
For details, see "Enjoying Surround Sound by Using Sound Field" (page 36).
Notes about positioning the front speakers
For best results, observe the following:
– Place both front speakers the same distance apart as they are from the listening position (to form an
isosceles triangle).
– The front speakers should be placed at least 0.6 m (2 ft) apart.
– The front speakers should be placed at ear level in the listening position.
– Place the front speakers forward of the TV. Make sure there are no reflecting obstacles in front of
the speakers.
– Both front speakers should be pointed straight forward. Do not place the speakers at an angle.
