Optimizing your speaker setup

In addition to the speaker placement tips outlined in
Placing the speakers on page 25, you can use the
diagrams and explanations provided below as a
reference for optimum placement of each set of
speakers.

Basic surround setup

If you're using a center speaker, place the front speakers
at a wider angle. If not, place them at a narrower angle.
Make sure the center speaker does not cross the line
formed by the leading edge of the front left and right
speakers.
It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening
position. The angle depends on the size of the room. Use
less of an angle for bigger rooms.
Surround and surround back speakers should be
positioned 60 cm–90 cm higher than your ears and titled
slight downward. Make sure the speakers don't face each
other. For DVD-Audio, the speakers should be more
directly behind the listener than for home theater
playback.
