•Place these speakers at the same height from the floor, at or near ear level.
•Array across the front of the viewing area.
Surround speakers (LS/RS)
•Place these speakers alongside and slightly to the rear of (but not behind) the listening position; well above ear level (60 cm (2 ft) to 90 cm (3 ft) higher).
•Point these speakers directly across the listening area, but not at the listener’s ears.
Subwoofer (S.WFR)
