Multi Channel Surround Setup
For the best possible surround sound all speakers should
be the same distance from the listening position (A).
However, this unit lets you to place the center speaker up
to 5 feet (1.5 meters) closer (B) or the surround back
speakers up to 15 feet (4.5 meters) closer (D) and the
surround speakers up to 15 feet (4.5 meters) closer (C) to
the listening position. The front speakers can be placed
from 3 to 40 feet (1.0 to 12.0 meters) from the listening
position (A).
You can place the surround speakers either behind you or
to the side, depending on the shape of your room (etc.).
You can use the center speaker as a surround back
speaker.

When setting up the surround back speaker
Set the speaker at least one meter behind the listening position. It
is recommended to place the speaker at an equal distance from
the surround left or right speakers. If there is no space behind the
listening position, set the speaker above the listening position by
placing it on a stand or hanging it from the ceiling. To prevent
speaker damage or injury in case the speaker falls, make sure that
it is properly fixed in place.
Note
Do not place the center speaker farther away from the listening
position than the front speakers.
