Place the FRONT left and right speakers an
equal distance from the main listening position.
The distance between each speaker and your TV
should also be the same.

Place the CENTER speaker in between the front
speakers and above or below your TV.

Place the SURROUND left and right speakers an
equal distance to the left and right sides of the
main listening position. If you don’t have
surround back speakers, move the surround
speakers slightly behind your listening position.

Place the SURROUND BACK left and right
speakers an equal distance from the main
listening position and directly behind the main
listening position. When using a single surround
back speaker (SB), place it directly behind the
listening position.

Place the SUBWOOFER at a convenient location
near the front speakers. If you have two
subwoofers, place them asymmetrically across
the front of your room.
