Speaker Placement for a Complete THX Speaker System

If you have a complete THX Speaker System set (LucasFilm authorized), follow the diagram below to place your speakers. Placing your surround back speakers together, and the same distance from the listening position, will allow you to take advantage of the ASA technology (see p.97 & 101).

Notice the surround speakers should output at an angle parallel to the listener. Also, notice the angle of the front speakers.

The best speaker placement for DVD-Audio (and other multichannel music sources) may be different than for regular DVD discs. For these formats follow the diagram at right as opposed to the home theater setups of the pre- ceding pages. If you want to use both home theater and DVD-Audio discs follow the diagrams below and set up your MULTI CH IN SELECT output mode accordingly.

In order to choose the best MULTI CH IN SELECT output mode (see p.94) use the diagrams here. Find the diagram that most closely resembles your surround and surround back speaker setup and then chose that output mode.
