Multi Channel Surround Setup
For the best possible surround sound all speakers should be the same distance from the listening position (A). However, this unit lets you to place the center speaker up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) closer (B) and the rear L/R speakers up to 15 feet (4.5 meters) closer (C) to the listening position. The front speakers can be placed from 3 to 40 feet (1.0 to 12.0 meters) from the listening position (A). You can place the rear L/R speakers either behind you or to the side, depending on the shape of your room (etc.).
When placing rear speakers to your side
z When 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.
