APPENDIX
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 Holographic Image, 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-
 fl 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 
refl ections. 
Pair are surround speakers, pair B and C are surround back 
options, and pair D are side-axis speakers, see the next page.
Side speak ers
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 on top, or 
directly underneath the TV, 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 
the TV cabinet. (The sound waves 
may otherwise refl ect off the top of 
the TV cabinet and distort the center 
im ag ing).
