Speaker placement
Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and
the wall coverings, etc. The typical example of speaker placement and
recommendations are as follows :
■ ■ Front left and right speakers and center speaker
Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with TV or
monitor screen as possible.
Place the center speaker between the front left and right speakers
and no further from the listening position than the front speakers.
Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listener's
ears when at the main listening position.
■ ■ Surround left and right speakers
Place the surround speakers approximately 40 inches (1 meter) above
the ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or
slightly behind.
■ ■ Surround back speaker
Place the surround back speaker at the rear center facing the front at a
slightly higher position (0 to 10 inches) than the surround speakers.
We recommend installing the surround back speaker at a slightly
downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back
channel signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center,
resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the
front to the back less sharp.
■ ■ Subwoofer
The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.
Place a subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.
■ ■ Notes :
When using a conventional TV , to avoid interference with the TV picture,
use only magnetically shielded front left and right and center speakers.
To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except the subwoofer
should be full range speakers.
