setup
For the best possible surround sound, all speakers should be the same distance from the listening position (A).
However, the receiver lets you to place the center speaker up to 1.5 meters closer (B), the surround speakers up to 4.5 meters closer (C) and the surround back speakers up to
4.5 meters closer (D) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 12.0 meters from the listening position (A).
You can place the surround speakers either behind you or to the side, depending on the shape of your room (etc.).
You can use the center and surround back speakers as surround back right and left speakers.

Tip
When setting up the surround back speaker, set the speaker at least 1 meter behind the listening position. It is recommended to place the speaker at an equal distance from the surround left and right 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.
