They can also be connected to any audio input on your TV to lis- ten to the sound of your HS controller through the speakers of your TV only, when the amp in your subwoofer is turned off and the volume of the HS controller has been turned down com- pletely.

Speaker Placement
The placement of speakers in a 2.1 audio/home theater system can have a noticeable impact on the quality of sound reproduced.

If possible, adjust all front loudspeakers so that they are aimed at ear height when you are seated in the listening position.
This will give you the best result for enjoying Dolby Virtual Surround by using only front left and right speakers.
Using these guidelines, you’ll find that it takes some experimentation to find the correct loca- tion for the front speakers in your particular installation. Don’t be afraid to move things around until the system sounds correct. Optimize your speakers so that audio transitions across the front of the room sound smooth.
Subwoofers produce largely nondirectional sound, so they may be placed almost anywhere in a room. Actual placement should be based on room size. One method of finding the optimal location for a subwoofer is to begin by placing it in the front of the room, about 15cm from a wall, or near the front corner of the room. Another method is to temporarily place the sub- woofer in the spot where you will normally sit, and then walk around the room until you find a spot where the subwoofer sounds best. Place the subwoofer in that spot.
