Hints on Speaker Placement
Speakers are usually designed with a particular placement in mind. Some are designed to be
floorstanding, while others should be placed on stands to sound their best. Some should be placed near a
wall; others should be placed away from walls. Follow the guidelines on placement that the speaker
manufacturer provided with your particular speakers.
• Place the front left and right speakers at equal
distances from the TV.
• When placing speakers near the TV, we
recommend using magnetically shielded
speakers to prevent possible interference,
such as discoloration of the picture when the
TV is switched on. If you do not have
magnetically shielded speakers and notice
discoloration of the TV picture, move the
speakers farther away from the TV.
• Install the center speaker above or below the
TV so that the sound of the center channel is
localized at the TV screen.
CAUTION: If you choose to install the
center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to
secure it with putty, or by other suitable
means, to reduce the risk of damage or
injury resulting from the speaker falling
from the TV in the event of external shocks
such as earthquakes.
• If possible, install the surround speakers
slightly above ear level.
• Try not to install the surround speakers
farther away from the listening position than
the front and center speakers. Doing so can
weaken the surround sound effect.
