Step 1: Placing the speakers
and subwoofer
For best possible surround sound, all the
speakers (except subwoofer) should be placed
at the same distance from the listening position.
1
Place the front left and right speakers at equal
distances from the TV and at an angle of
approximately 45 degrees from the listening
position.
2
Place the center speaker above the TV or the
DVD system so that the center channel’s sound
is localized.
3
Place the surround speakers at normal listening
ear level facing each other or mounted on the
wall.
4
Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV.
Notes:
– To avoid magnetic interference, do not position
the front speakers too close to your TV.
– Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD
system.
