Speaker Placement

Placing your Speakers

To enjoy the full effect of your home theater system, it is recommended that you connect a complete set of 7.1-channel surround sound speakers, including:

•	Front Speakers (LF/RF)

•	Center Speaker (C)	7
•	Surround Speakers (LS/RS)

•Surround Back Speakers (LB/RB)

• Subwoofer (S)				.1

If that’s not possible, the next best thing is a 5.1- channel setup, including:

•Front Speakers (LF/RF)

• Center Speaker (C)		5

•Surround Speakers (LS/RS)

• Subwoofer (S)		.1

Refer to the diagrams at right for approximate place- ment of your speakers within each of these scenar- ios.

While the above arrangements are ideal, the system is ﬂexible enough to accommodate virtually any com- bination of speakers, with the minimum setup being two front speakers.

Notes:

•The best speaker placement for your particular room will depend on its size, furnishings, seating arrange- ment, and the acoustical properties of the space, including wall type, coverings, and various other factors.

•You will have to experiment with various placement options to determine the best conﬁguration for your speciﬁc situation.

•If space permits, install surrounds 2-3 feet above viewers to minimize localization effects.
