SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Optimally, the speakers should be placed in a circle with the listening position at its center. The speakers should be angled so that they directly face the listening position.
Front Speaker Placement |
| |
The center speaker is placed either on top of, below or mounted on |
| |
the wall above or below the video display screen. |
| |
The front left and right speakers are placed along the circle, about |
| |
30 degrees from the center speaker and angled toward the listener. |
| |
Place the front left/right and center speakers at the same height, | Blue SL | |
preferably at about the same height as the listener’s ears. The | ||
| ||
center speaker should be no more than 2 feet above or below |
| |
the left/right speakers. If you’re using only two speakers with |
| |
the AVR 2600, place them in the front left and right positions. |
| |
Placement of the surround speakers depends on the number of |
| |
speakers in your system. |

Subwoofer Placement
Placement of the subwoofer requires less precision, since low- frequency sounds are omnidirectional. Placing the subwoofer close to a wall or in a corner will reinforce the low frequencies, and may create a “boomy” sound. Temporarily place the subwoofer where the listener normally sits, then walk around the room until the low frequencies sound best. Place the subwoofer in that spot.
NOTE: Your receiver will sound its best when the same model or brand loudspeaker is used for all positions.
