5SubwooferSurround Speakers5 – 6 ft.Front Speakers0-2 ft.SPEAKER PLACEMENTThe center channel speaker should beplaced slightly behind the front left andright speakers, and no more than two feetabove or below the tweeters of the left andright speakers. It is often convenient to setthe center speaker on top of the televisionset, as shown in the drawing. Use the sup-plied support leg to aim it toward the lis-tener by screwing the leg in to angle thespeaker up, or unscrewing the leg slightlyto angle the speaker down.Front Speakers Center Channel SpeakerStands are optional.The front speakers should be placed thesame distance from each other as they arefrom the listening position. They should beplaced at about the same height from thefloor as the listeners’ ears will be, or theymay be angled toward the listeners.The low-frequency material reproduced bythe subwoofer is mostly omnidirectional,and this speaker may be placed in a con-venient location in the room. However, thebest reproduction of bass will be heardwhen the subwoofer is placed in a corneralong the same wall as the front speakers.Experiment with subwoofer placement bytemporarily placing the subwoofer in thelistening position and moving around theroom until the bass reproduction is best.Place the subwoofer in that location.The two surround speakers should beplaced slightly behind the listening positionand, ideally, should face each other and beat a level higher than the listeners’ ears. Ifthat is not possible, they may be placed ona wall behind the listening position, facingforward. The surround speakers should notcall attention to themselves. Experimentwith their placement until you hear a dif-fuse, ambient sound accompanying themain-program material heard in the frontspeakers.
