above or below the display, as long as it
is located on the centerline and not off to
one side.
If possible, have the center, left and
right loudspeakers at the same height
(within two feet). This will help give a
smooth transition when sound effects
move from loudspeaker to loudspeaker.
5.1 Configuration
Place each surround loudspeaker an
equal distance away from your central
listening position, and keep them at least
one or two feet above ear level (with you
sitting down).
They can be placed behind the listen-
ing position, on the rear walls or the side
walls, or on the optional stands.
You can also experiment with “toeing-
in” the speakers slightly, to direct the high
frequencies to the listening position.
6.1 and 7.1 Configuration
Sunfire home theater processors and
receivers have two extra outputs for sur-
round back loudspeakers. These create
a wonderful sense of realism in surround
effects during playback of Dolby Digital
EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, and DTS-ES.
Such systems can be configured for
one or two surround back loudspeakers.
If you are connecting one surround
back loudspeaker, place it directly behind
your listening position and move the sur-
round loudspeakers to the side as shown:
With two surround back loudspeakers,
set them behind and between the sur-
round loudspeakers:
9.1 Configuration
Some Sunfire home theater processors
and receivers have two side-axis chan-
nels that are matrixed from the left and
right front channels, and they are avail-
able in stereo as well as surround modes.
Place the side-axis loudspeakers along
the side walls, close to the fronts. You
can also angle them in towards your
listening position.
