Positioning

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points:

Place speakers on flat secure bases.

Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.

[Note]

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) away from the system for proper ventilation.

Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are approximate.
