The front, center, and surround speakers should be placed at approximately the same distance from the seating area. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

Front speakers

Place on the left and right of the TV at seated ear height so that there is good coherency between the picture and sound.

Center speaker

Place underneath or above the center of the TV. Aim the speaker at the seating area.

Surround speakers

Place on the side of or slightly behind the seating area, about one meter higher than ear level.

Subwoofer

The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a reasonable distance from the TV.

Note that some experimentation can yield the smoothest low frequency performance. Placement near a corner can increase the apparent output level, but can result in unnatural bass.

Connecting speakers

Other connections are possible depending on your speaker system. See your speaker system’s operating instructions for details.
