For the best possible surround sound, we recommend
the following conditions.
• Use higher performance speakers.
• Use rear and center speakers that match your front

speakers in size and performance.

• All speakers should be the same distance from the

listening position.

• Place the subwoofer between the front (L, R)

speakers if possible.

Do not place the center or rear speakers farther away from the
listening position than the front speakers.
