Recommended speaker
placement
7.1 channel speaker system
• The angle A shown in the illustration
should be the same.
• If you cannot place the speakers at the
optimum angle, separate the surround
speakers and the surround back speakers
adequately and arrange them as
symmetrically as possible.
• You can calibrate speaker positioning using
“Speaker Relocation” even if you cannot
place the speakers at the optimum angle
(page 103). Arrange each pair of the
surround speakers and the surround back
speakers spread further back than 90 degrees
to operate “Speaker Relocation” effectively.
• Install the front high speakers at a position as
near as possible to the wall in front of the
seating position and behind the speakers.
The position should be at an angle of 25 to
30 degrees and at a height of 180 to 200 cm
(190 cm is recommended). When you use a
screen, arrange them slightly to the side of
each end of the screen.

• Place the surround back speaker behind the
seating position.
Tip
Since the subwoofer does not emit highly directional
signals, you can place it wherever you want.
