SPEAKERS MUST BE ORIENTED

VERTICALLY

• Place the left & right speakers on either side of the video

screen, anywhere from 6 feet to 10 feet apart and 38 – 42

inches from the floor (which corresponds to the height of your

ears when you’re seated on a couch or chair).

• If possible, locate the left and right speakers at least 18 inch-

es away from the side walls.

• If possible, locate the center speaker at the same height as the

left & right channel speakers (38 – 42 inches from the floor).

• If you must place the center speaker above or below a video

screen, we recommend placing it no more than 2 feet above or

below the center of the left and right speakers. This will help

maintain consistent tonality between all 3 front channel speakers.

• The main listening position should be between 8 and 12 feet away from the speakers.
Use

Figure 2 as a guide.

Left & Right Surround Speakers

Place the left & right surround speakers directly to the sides of the listening position, between

5 and 7 feet off the floor. Use

Figure 3 as a guide.

If placing the left and right surround speakers on the walls directly to the sides of the listen-

ing position isn’t possible, you can mount them on the ceiling. Locate the surround speakers

directly to the left and right sides of the listening position, between 6 and 10 feet apart. Mount

the speakers so the tweeters face the video screen and rear wall, with the woofers towards each

other. Use

Figure 4 as a guide.

Surround Back Channel Speakers

The surround back speakers in a 6.1- or 7.1-channel system should be placed in the rear wall

between 4 feet and 8 feet apart, at least 5 feet from the floor. Use

Figure 5 as a guide.
