This is just a general room design.
Any number of set-ups are possible,
and some changes may be needed to
maximize your sound.
A left and right speaker on either
side of the Entertainment Machine
will create a “center channel,” making
the dialog sound as though it’s
coming directly from the
Entertainment Machine.
The rear surround sound speakers
provide the majority of other sounds,
like those from special effects in
movies. Your sub-woofer generates
ultra-low frequency sound, for
rumbling low-end audio.
Sound is affected by
speaker placement, so make
sure nothing is in front of the
speakers, and that they are
aimed in appropriate directions.
If your surround sound system
is on, but there’s no sound
from the speakers, the program
you’re watching might not be
broadcast in surround sound.
