If placing the left and right surround speakers on

the walls directly to the sides

of

the listen-

ing position isn’t possible, you can mount them on the ceiling. Locate the surround speakers

directly to the left and right sides of the listening

position, between 6 and 10 feet apart. Mount

the speakers so the tweeters face the video screen and rear wall, with the woofers towards each

other. Use Figure 4 as a guide.
