Note
•
Surround sound depends on factors such as room
shape and size, type of wall and ceiling, windows and
reflective surfaces, and speaker acoustics. Experiment
with the speaker positions to find the optimum
setting for you.
Follow these general guidelines, and then set up your
speakers.

Seating position:
This is the center of your listening area.

FRONT CENTER (front center) speaker:
Place the center speaker directly in front of the
seating position, either above or below your
TV. Make sure that it is close to your ear height
when you are seated.

FRONT LEFT (front left) and FRONT RIGHT
(front right) speakers:
Place the left and right speakers in the front, and
equidistant from the center speaker in an arc, so
that all the three speakers are at same distance
from your seating position. For best effect, point
the speakers towards the seating position and
place the speakers close to the ear level (when
seated).
4
REAR LEFT (rear left) and REAR RIGHT (rear
right) speakers:
Place the rear surround speakers to the left

point the speakers towards the seating position
and place the speakers just above the ear level
(when seated).

the left or right of the TV. Leave about ten
