Tip
•To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within the room, and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.
aFront speakers
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
bCenter speaker
This speaker enhances the front speakers, making sound movements dis- tinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it’s used mainly for dia- log. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front speakers.
cSurround speakers
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener.
dSurround back speakers
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital EX,
eFront high speakers (Optional)
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height, etc. They enhance significantly the spatial experience. Position them at least 3.3 feet (100 cm) above the front speakers (and as high as possible).
Although it is acceptable to left and right place at an angle slightly wider than the front speakers. Ideally they should be positioned directly above the front speakers.
