Multi Channel Surround Setup

For the best possible surround sound all speakers should
be the same distance from the listening position (A).
However, this unit lets you to place the center speaker up
to 5 feet (1.5 meters) closer (B) and the rear L/R speakers
up to 15 feet (4.5 meters) closer (C) to the listening
position.
The front speakers can be placed from 3 to 40 feet (1.0 to
12.0 meters) from the listening position (A).
You can place the rear L/R speakers either behind you or
to the side, depending on the shape of your room (etc.).
When placing rear speakers to your side
When placing rear speakers behind you
z When setting up the r ear center speaker
Set the speaker at least one meter behind the listening position. It
is recommended to place the speaker at an equal distance from
the rear L/R speakers. If there is no space behind the listening
position, set the speaker above the listening position by placing it
on a stand or hanging it from the ceiling. To prevent speaker
damage or injury in case the speaker falls, make sure that it is
properly fixed in place.
Note
Do not place the center speaker farther away from the listening
position than the front speakers.
