Speaker placement
To obtain the best surround sound effect in your home, place the speakers as follows; Front speakers: Place each front speaker about 1m (40 ) from the TV set.
Center speaker: Place the center speaker either above or below the TV set to assure good visualization of center channel program.
Rear speakers: Place the rear speakers approximately 1m above the ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightly behind.
Subwoofer: Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds. Place a powered subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.
The ideal surround system needs all the speakers listed above.
For optimum reproduction of DTS encoded material, DTS suggests that all speakers, front, center and rear, should be capable of full range reproduction.
To enjoy surround sound best, the speakers to be connected are as follows;
