Hints on Speaker Placement
Speakers are usually designed with a partcular
placement in mind. Some are designed to be
floorstanding, while others should be placed on stands
to sound their best. Some should be placed near a wall,
others should be placed away from walls. Follow the
guidelines on placement that the speaker manufacturer
provided with your speakers.
Front speakers
Use magnetically shielded speakers, if you are using
them near your TV.
Place the front speakers in front of the listening
position, to the left and right of the TV.
Front speakers are required for all surround modes.
Center speaker
Use a magnetic shielded speaker, if you are using it
near your TV. Place the center speaker between the
front speakers, on or below the TV. This speaker
stabilizes the sound image.
Be sure to connect a center speaker when using the
DOLBY 3 STEREO mode.
If you choose to install the center speaker on top of
the TV, be sure to secure it with putty, or by other
suitable means, to reduce the risk of damage or
injury resulting from the speaker falling from the TV
in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.
Rear speakers
Install these speakers above the level of the
listener's ears, to the left and right.
Do not install the surround speakers too far behind
the listening position. It might be effective to direct
the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further
disperse the sound.
Subwoofer
Reproduces powerful and deep bass sounds.
Use a subwoofer with built-in amplifier referred to as
a “powered sub-woofer”. Subwoofers are most
effective when placed on or near the floor and in a
corner of the room. Refer to the instructions that
came with your sub-woofer for placement
suggestions.
