Speaker placement

To obtain the best surround sound effect in your home, place the speakers as follows; Front speakers: Place each front speaker about 1m (40 ) from the TV set.

Center speaker: Place the center speaker either above or below the TV set to assure good visualization of center channel program.

Rear speakers: Place the rear speakers approximately 1m above the ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightly behind.
