Speaker Placement - Yamaha RX-V890 Owner's Manual

SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The recommended speaker configuration, the five-speaker configuration, will require two speaker pairs: front
speakers and rear speakers, plus a center speaker. When you place these speakers, refer to the following:
Center
Front L
8
Front R
Rear R
Rear L
Front: In normal position. (The position of a standard
stereo speaker setup)
Center: Precisely between the front speakers. (To avoid
interference with TV sets, use a magnetically
shielded speaker.) When two center speakers are
used, place these to the right and left of your TV
set or video monitor.
Rear: Behind your listening position, facing slightly
inward. Nearly six feet (approx. 1.8 m) up from the
floor.
