Tip
Positioning the speakers
The effective area of surround sound will vary depending on the
sound field selection (FOCUS SURROUND or WIDE
SURROUND). You can change the sound field setting for optimal
front surround sound effect.
For details, see “Enjoying Front Surround Sound Using Sound
Field” (page 36).
Notes about positioning the front speakers
For best results, observe the following:
– Place both front speakers the same distance apart as they are from
the listening position (to form an equilateral triangle).
– The front speakers should be placed at least 0.6 m (2 ft) apart.
– The front speakers should be placed at ear level in the listening
position.
– Place the front speakers forward of the TV. Make sure there are
no reflecting obstacles in front of the speakers.
