Optimizing your speaker setup
In addition to the speaker placement tips outlined in
Placing the speakers on page 27, you can use the
diagrams and explanations provided below as a
reference for optimum placement of each set of
speakers.
Basic surround setup
If you're using a center speaker, place the front speakers
at a wider angle. If not, place them at a narrower angle.
Make sure the center speaker does not cross the line
formed by the leading edge of the front left and right
speakers.
It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening
position. The angle depends on the size of the room. Use
less of an angle for bigger rooms.
Surround and surround back speakers should be
positioned a foot-and-a-half to three feet (60 cm–90 cm)
higher than your ears and titled slight downward. Make
sure the speakers don't face each other. For DVD-Audio,
the speakers should be more directly behind the listener
than for home theater playback.
