Front speaker placement

For best results, follow the speaker placement
below.
Alignment
Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or
slightly behind (B) (the left and right speakers),
but not ahead of them.
Angle
Place the left and right speakers to form a
45-degree angle with your favorite viewing
position to duplicate the soundtrack mixer's
perspective.
Height
The three front speakers should be as close as
possible to the same height. This often
requires placing the center speaker directly
on top (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.
