If that is not possible,they may be placed on a wallbehind the listening position,facing forward. The surroundspeakers should not call atten-tion to themselves. Experimentwith their placement until youhear a diffuse, ambient soundaccompanying the mainprogram material heard inthe front speakers.The low-frequency materialreproduced by the subwooferis mostly omnidirectional, andthis speaker may be placed ina convenient location in theroom. However, the bestreproduction of bass will beheard when the subwooferis placed in a corner alongthe same wall as the frontspeakers. Experiment withsubwoofer placement bytemporarily placing thesubwoofer in the listeningposition and moving aroundthe room until the bass repro-duction is best. Place thesubwoofer in that location.Center ChannelSpeakerSPEAKER PLACEMENT5.1-CHANNEL SYSTEMIMPORTANT NOTE: The 800,1000, 1400 and 1500 Arraymodels feature spiked feet foroptimum acoustic performance.However, spikes can damagecertain types of floors, such ashardwood.
