Setting Up a Home Theatre System

Placement
Front and Effects Channels: The front loudspeakers are placed on either side of the television screen, 2 to 3 metres apart. The speakers should
be angled slightly so they car aimed towards the listeners.
We recommend placing the rear effects speakers in a high position, behind the listener's head. If the rear or side walls are a long way from the
listening seat, consider stand mounting the loudspeakers. If the centre loudspeaker is very high or low, angle it towards the listener's ear level.
The front faces of the centre and surround loudspeakers should also be in line as far as possible.
Subwoofer: As the ear is unable to detect the direction from which deep bass originates, you have freedom to position the unit. Varying the
distance from the wall alters the bass. Placing the subwoofer across a corner boosts the bass but may impair clarity. The performance of a home
theatre system can be enhanced by using two subwoofers.

Dolby Labs, DTS and THX offer 6.1 and 7.1 format. Although
22°
the precise configuration of these systems will depend on the
30°
capabilities of your processor and you should be guided by those
instructions, we would make some observation.
For 6.1 and 7.1 formats the listening seat should not be too close to
the rear wall.
Optimising the time delay so that information from all speakers
arrives the listening seat coherently is critical of the benefits of these
systems are to be fully realised.
