Overview
A properly set up home theater system can provide a surround sound experience better than most
commercial theaters and is a great way to enjoy movies, television programming, sporting events, and
video games with family and friends. The primary concept one must grasp about home theater speaker
setup is that each room, set of speakers, and primary listening position will have its own optimum setup.
The optimum setup can only be determined by experimentation once the initial setup is complete. This
process can be confusing and time consuming, but by following the guidelines outlined in this
document, you will create a great sounding home theater system with a minimum of difficulty.
The diagrams below show the recommended layouts for 5.1 and 7.1 systems. Tables are included in
each of the following sections providing conversions of the angles into easily measurable dimensions
which are referenced from the center of the screen or the primary listening position.
LF - Left Front
C - Center Channel
RF - Right Front
