Speaker Placement
An example of installation is shown here.
Use this figure as a reference for installing the system ac-
cording to the types of your speakers and conditions of your
listening room.
FL/FR (Front speakers) : Place to the front left and right
of the listening position. Front speakers are required for all
surround modes.
C (Center speaker) : Place front and center. This speaker
stabilizes the sound image and helps recreate sound mo-
tion.
SW (Subwoofer) : Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.
SL/SR (Surround speakers) : Place to the direct left and
right, or slightly behind, the listening position at even
heights, at least 3.3 ft (1 meter) above the ears of the listeners.
SBL/SBR (Surround back speakers) : The SBL/SBR
speakers are required to reproduce 6.1-channel signals
(THX Surround EX, DTS-ES). Place them on the left and
right behind the listening position and at the same height
as the SL/SR speakers.
