SPEAKER PLACEMENT
Before you begin to connect cables, it is important to place your speakers in their correct locations in the room.
Optimally, the speakers should be placed in a circle with the listening position at its center. The distance from the listening position to the video display forms the radius of the circle.
The speakers should be angled so that they directly face the listening position.
Placement of Surround Speakers in a
The side surround speakers should be placed 110 degrees from the center speaker, that is, slightly behind and angled toward the listener. If this isn’t feasible, place them behind the listener, with each surround speaker facing the
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.
It is best to place the front left/right and center speakers as close to the same height as possible, preferably at about the same height as the listener’s ears. In any event, the center speaker should be no more than two feet above or below the left/right speakers.
Placement of the surround speakers depends on the number of speakers in your system. If you’re using only two speakers with the AVR 254, place them in the front left and right positions, and skip to the Installation section. However, we recommend using the AVR 254 in a 5.1- or
