Rear Speaker (R)

Front Speakers L R

Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.

Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ear.

Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speakers.

Center Speaker C

It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers.

You can also install it directly over or under the TV.

Rear Speakers LS RS

Place these speakers behind your listening position.

If there isn't enough room, place these speakers to face each other.

Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear, facing slightly downward.

*Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.

Subwoofer SW

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.

Usually, it is placed by a corner near the front speakers.
