SPEAKER PLACEMENT
FRONT SPEAKERS CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKER SUBWOOFER
0-2 ft.
Stands shown are optional.
SURROUND SPEAKERS
5 � 6 ft.
The front speakers should be placed the same distance from each other as they are from the listening position. They should be placed at about the same height from the floor as the listeners� ears will be, or they may be angled toward the listeners. The center channel speaker should be placed slightly behind the front left and right speakers, and no more than two feet above or below the tweeters of the left and right speakers. It is often convenient to set the center speaker on top of the television set, as shown in the drawing. Use the supplied support leg to aim it toward the listener by screwing the leg in to angle the speaker up, or unscrewing the leg
slightly to angle the speaker down. The surround speakers should be placed slightly behind the listening position and, ideally, should face each other and be at a level higher than the listeners� ears. If that is not possible, they may be placed on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. In Dolby* Digital and DTS® systems, it is best to aim all of the speakers (except the subwoofer) toward the listening position at about earlevel height. In systems where only analog surround processing (such as Dolby Pro Logic*) is available, it may be preferable to aim the speakers straight out from the wall to obtain a more diffuse sound.
The low-frequency material reproduced by the subwoofer is mostly omnidirectional, and this speaker may be placed in a convenient location in the room. However, bass reproduction will be maximized when the subwoofer is placed in a corner along the same wall as the front speakers. Experiment with subwoofer placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer in the listening position and moving around the room until the bass reproduction is best. Place the subwoofer in that location.
