Speaker Place ment
The Front Speak ers 
You should closely follow the 
placement rec om men da tions of your 
speaker man u fac tur er, with the addi-
tion of the following points:
 The left and right front speakers 
should be positioned so that your TV 
is exactly centered between them. 
This will help focus your attention 
towards the screen. 
For the best performance when us-
ing Sonic Holography, the left speak er 
should be set exactly the same 
distance and angle away from your 
listening position as the right speaker. 
It is rec om mend ed that you use a 
tape measure to set them up to be the 
same distance away, within about half 
an inch tolerance.
If you have a smaller TV, the speak-
 ers should be no more than two feet 
away from the sides of the TV. 
If pos si ble, have the center, left 
and right speakers at the same height 
(within two feet). This will help give a 
smooth transition when sound effects 
move from speaker to speaker. 
Ideally, the speak ers should be no 
closer than two feet from the rear and 
side walls, in order to reduce any re-
  ec tions that might upset the im ag ing. 
If your speakers are closer than this, 
you can experiment by adding sound 
dead en ing material such as drapes 
on the walls to reduce any unwanted 
re ections. 
Pair are bipole surround speakers, pair B and C are conven-
tional surround speakers or surround back options.
The Center speak er 
Most movie dialog will come from the 
center speaker, so careful positioning is 
an important part of a good home the-
ater sys tem. Your eyes and ears should 
focus your attention towards the center 
of the screen. 
The center speaker can sit above, or 
below the TV monitor, as long as it is 
located on the centerline and not off to 
one side. 
Position the front face of the 
speaker close to the front edge of 
any TV cabinet. (The sound waves 
may otherwise re ect off the top of 
the TV cabinet and distort the center 
im ag ing).
