Positioning the speakers
For the best possible surround sound, all the
speakers other than the sub woofer should be
the same distance from the listening position
(A).
However, if necessary, this system allows you
to place the center speaker up to 1.5 meters
(5 feet) closer (B) and the rear speakers up to
4.5 meters (15 feet) closer (C) to the listening
position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to
12.0 meters (3 to 40 feet) (A) from the
listening position.
You can place the sub woofer in any position.
You can place the rear speakers either behind
you or to the side, depending on the shape of
your room, etc.
When the rear speakers are placed to the side
When the rear speakers are placed behind you
Note
Do not place the center and rear speakers farther away
from the listening position than the front speakers.
