FRONT
Front and Effects Channels: The front loudspeakers are placed on either side
of
the television screen, 2 to 3 metres apart. The speakers should
be
angled slightly so they car aimed towards the listeners.
We
recommend placing the rear effects speakers
in
a high position, behind
the
listener's head. If the rear or side walls are a long way from the
listening seat, consider stand mounting the loudspeakers.
If
the centre loudspeaker
is
very high or low, angle it towards
the
listener's ear level.
The front faces
of
the
centre and surround loudspeakers should also be
in
line
as
far
as
possible.
Subwoofer:
As
the ear
is
unable
to
detect
the direction from which deep bass originates, you have freedom
to
position the unit. Varying the
distance from
the
wall
alters the
bass.
Placing the subwoofer across a corner boosts the bass
but
may impair clarity. The performance
of
a home
theatre system can
be
enhanced by using
two
subwoofers.
6.1
and
7.1
System
Placement
Dolby Labs,
DTS
and THX offer
6.1
and
7.1
format. Although
the precise configuration
of
these systems
will
depend on
the
capabilities
of
your processor and you should
be
guided by those
instructions,
we
would
make some observation.
For 6.1 and
7.1
formats the listening seat should
not
be
too
close
to
the rear wall.
Optimising the time delay so that information from all speakers
arrives the listening seat coherently
is
critical
of
the benefits
of
these
systems are
to
be
fully realised.

Theater Systems.
