Surround speakers should be placed on the side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the listening position. The center of bidirectional speakers should face into the room with the active speaker drivers pointing towards the front and rear of the room The speakers should be located so that the bottom of the cabinet is at least 60 cm higher than the listeners’ ears when in the desired area.

If side wall mounting is not practical, the speakers may be placed on a rear wall, behind the listening position. Again, they should be located so that the bottom of the cabinet is at least 60 cm higher than the listeners’ ears. The speakers should be no more than two meters behind the rear of the seating area.

Subwoofers produce non-directional sound, so they may be placed almost anywhere in a room. Subwoofer placement is highly influenced by room size and shape, and the type of subwoofer used. Follow the instructions of the subwoofer’s manufacturer, or experiment with the best location for a subwoofer in your listening room.

Once the speakers have been placed in the room and connected, the final step is to enter the configuration information and balance the speaker output levels. Before proceeding further this is a good time to review the installation section of the manual to make certain that all connections are properly made.
