zWhen setting up the rear 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.
