Home theater sound setup

Depending on the size and characteristics of your room, you can choose to place your speakers in one of two ways using this system:

•Standard surround 5-spot setup – This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theatre sound.

•Front surround 3-spot setup – This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker placement isn't possible or you want to avoid running long speaker cables in your listening area. Use this setup together with the Front Surround modes to take advantage of wall and ceiling reflections for a very realistic surround effect.
