-2 ft (.6 m) from the front wall
-3 ft (1 m) from the side walls
-6 ft (2 m) apart
•Place the third speaker:
–above the TV with the arrow pointing at the rear wall
–at least 2 ft (.6 m) from the front wall
•Place two other speakers:
–to the left and right near the rear of the room
–with the arrow pointing toward the side wall (away from the other speaker)

Other considerations
•Placing the provided template against your ceiling serves to determine the space needed for each speaker.
•Using a stud finder is helpful in choosing a usable space between joists. You need to allow 51/2 in.
(13 cm) from the center of the speaker to a joist.
•If you are installing in a sealed space between joists, it is important to optimal performance that the volume of the space is at least 1 cubic foot (.028 m3).
•Avoid all electrical wiring, vents, and plumbing pipes that are located above the ceiling. Check with a trained professional to learn how to locate and avoid them.
