Placement

Place Your Speakers
Determine the locations for your system's speakers
according to their manufacturer's directions and the
layout of your listening room. Use the illustration below
as a guide for 5.1-channel systems.
To create the most realistic surround-sound environment
possible, you should place your speakers in a circle
with the listening position at its center. You should angle
each speaker so it directly faces the listening position.
Use the diagram below as a guide.
Placing the Left, Center and Right
Speakers
Place the center speaker either on top of, below or
mounted on the wall above or below the TV or video-
display screen. Place the front left and right speakers
along the circle, about 30 degrees from the center
speaker and angled toward the listener.
Place the front left, front right and center speakers at
the same height, preferably at about the same height
as the listener's ears. The center speaker should be
no more than 2 feet (0.6m) above or below the left/
right speakers. If you're using only two speakers with
your AVR, place them in the front left and front right
positions.

Placing the Surround Speakers
You should place the left and right surround speakers
approximately 110 degrees from the center speaker,
slightly behind and angled toward the listener.
Alternatively, you can place them behind the listener,
with each surround speaker facing the opposite-side
front speaker. You should place the surround speakers
2 feet – 6 feet (0.6m – 1.8m) higher than the listener's
ears.
Placing the Subwoofer
Because a room's shape and volume can have a
dramatic effect on a subwoofer's performance, it is best
to experiment with placement so that you will find the
location that produces the best results in your particular
listening room. With that in mind, these rules will help
you get started:
• Placing the subwoofer next to a wall generally will
increase the amount of bass in the room.
• Placing the subwoofer in a corner generally will
maximize the amount of bass in the room.
• In many rooms, placing the subwoofer along the
same plane as the left and right speakers can
produce the best integration between the sound of
the subwoofer and that of the left and right speakers.
• In some rooms, the best performance could even
result from placing the subwoofer behind the
listening position. A good way to determine the best
location for the subwoofer is by temporarily placing it
in the listening position and playing music with strong
bass content. Move around to various locations in
the room while the system is playing (putting your
ears where the subwoofer would be placed), and
listen until you find the location where the bass
performance is best. Place the subwoofer in that
location.
