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.

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.

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.
