Speaker placement

In this section, only typical examples of speaker placement are shown. Note, however, that ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of the room and the wall coverings used in the room.

To obtain ideal sound field effects, the Left and Right front speakers must be placed at the same distance from the listening position.

Recommendations

•Left and Right front speakers (L/R) and Center speaker (C)

-Place these three speakers at the same height from the floor.

-Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the audience's ears at the listening position.

•Left and Right Surround speakers (LS/RS)

Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter higher than that of the audience's ears.

• Subwoofer (SW)

Place it anywhere in your listening room because the placement of the Subwoofer affects the perceived direction of the sound very little.

If your speaker system lacks Subwoofer, Center speaker, or Surround speakers

To get the highest-quality surround sound, you need a complete speaker system as shown. Even so, you can enjoy quality surround sound by setting up the speakers (see pages 25-28) so that the sound originally allocated to non-existing speakers is properly distributed to the existing Left and Right front speakers.
