Speaker placement in a multichannel home theater
setup
Front speakers: Place to the front left and right of the
listening position at equal distances from both the unit and
the listening position. Front speakers are required for all
surround modes.
Center speaker: Place front and center. This speaker
stabilizes the sound image and helps recreate more natu-
ral sound motion.
Surround (rear) speakers: Place to the direct left and
right, or slightly behind, the listening position at even
heights approximately 1 meter (3.5 ft.) above the ears of
the listeners. These speakers recreate rear sound motion
and atmosphere, and are required for surround playback.
Subwoofer: Reproduces deep bass and other low fre-
quency sounds.
By performing the “Surround Options” setup operations,
this unit makes automatic adjustments to account for the
way the speakers have been set up in order to deliver the
best possible surround sound. )
