Listening position

See About the listening modes on page 44 for more on using the different listening modes with each speaker setup.

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system.

•The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended.

•For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2–3 m apart, at equal distance from the TV.

•Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

•When using a 5-spot setup, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level, if possible.
