an
accurate left and right sound image (Figure

• Place the front speakers on either side of your
TV,
at least 6 feet
(2
m),
or
as
much as 15
feet
(5
m)
apart
• Place them
in
line with the horizontal center
of
the screen for the best sound balance
(position

Placing them
in
a line above the
top
of
the
TV
is another choice (position

• Aim the speakers inward for more accurate imaging
or
outward
for
a more spacious effect
Adjust them according to your preference
