Positioning of the Speakers
The positioning of speakers differs according to the size
and acoustics of the listening room. While actually listening
to a program source, try various speaker positions to
determine which layout provides the best surround effect.
• Ideally, position all the speakers in a circle, with the same
distance from your listening position.
• Place the speakers connected to “L” to your left, and “R” to
your right.
Front speakers
Use magnetically shielded speakers, if you are using them
near your TV.
Place the front speakers in front of the listening position, to
the left and right of a TV.
Front speakers are required for all surround modes.
Center speaker
Use a magnetically shielded speaker if you are using it near
your TV. Place a center speaker between the front
speakers, on or below the TV. This speaker stabilizes the
sound image.
Surround Left and Right speakers
Install these speakers above the level of the listener’s ears,
directly to the left and right (or slightly behind) of your
listening position.
Surround Back speaker
Place the surround back speaker at the back of the listening
position facing the front at a slightly higher position than the
surround left and right speakers. Point slightly downward.
Subwoofer
Reproduces powerful and deep bass sounds.
Use a sub-woofer with built-in amplifier referred to as a
“powered sub-woofer”. Subwoofers are most effective when
placed on or near the floor and in a corner of the room.
Refer to the instructions that came with your sub-woofer for
placement suggestions.
