SPEAKER PLACEMENT
The center channel speaker should be
placed slightly behind the front left and
right speakers, and no more than two feet
above or below the tweeters of the left and
right speakers. It is often convenient to set
the center speaker on top of the television
set, as shown in the drawing. The center
speaker uses a supplied adjustable support
cradle inserted into holes on its bottom to
enable you to adjust the tilt of the speaker
to aim it towards the listening area.
Front Speakers
Center Channel Speaker
The front speakers should be placed the
same distance from each other as they are
from the listening position. They should be
placed at about the same height from the
floor as the listeners’ ears will be, or they
may be angled toward the listeners. The
elegant contoured design of the satellite
speaker enclosure allows the speaker to be
placed on a lower shelf and tilted upward
toward the listener simply by positioning
the speaker back onto its tilted surface.
The low-frequency material reproduced by
the subwoofer is mostly omnidirectional,
and this speaker may be placed in a con-
venient location in the room. However, the
maximum reproduction of bass will be
heard when the subwoofer is placed in a
corner along the same wall as the front
speakers. Experiment with subwoofer place-
ment by temporarily placing the subwoofer
in the listening position and moving around
the room until the bass reproduction is
best. Place the subwoofer in that location.
The two surround speakers should be
placed slightly behind the listening position
and, ideally, should face each other and be
at a level higher than the listeners’ ears. If
that is not possible, they may be placed on
a wall behind the listening position, facing
forward. The surround speakers should not
call attention to themselves. Experiment
with their placement until you hear a dif-
fuse, ambient sound accompanying the
main-program material heard in the front
speakers.
