COMPOSER LCR SERIES INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Speaker Placement
3.1
Place the center channel (CC)
speaker directly above or
below the video display, pref-
erably equidistant from the
walls on the left and right. The
left (L) and right (R) speakers
should be on the same wall on
either side of the video display,
with the center speaker exactly
between them. It’s better if
the left and right speakers are
closer to the screen rather than
further from it.
It’s best if all three front speak-
ers about 3.5 feet (1 m) from the
floor, however there’s a good
chance that the center speaker
will have to be lower or higher
than the others.
The speakers can be installed
either vertically or horizontally.
For better sound quality, avoid
installing the speakers near
corners.
5.1
In addition to the left, right,
and center speakers described
in the 3.1 setup, install the sur-
round left and right speakers
on the left and right walls. They
should be a few feet behind the
listening area, and about 5 feet
(1.5 m) from the floor.
7.1
The front left, right, and center
speakers should be in the same
location as the previous two
setups described. The surround
left and right speakers should
be about 5 feet (1.5 m) from the
floor, directly to either side of
the listening area. Finally, the
rear speakers should be on the
back wall, about 5 feet (1.5 m)
from the floor and 3 to 6 feet (1
to 2 m) apart. If possible, make
sure that the distance between
the rear speakers is the same as
the distance between the front
left and right speakers.
