This is a basic 5.1 Channel System. Front speakers output the front stereo
sound, and a center speaker outputs the sound of the center of the screen, such

subwoofer reproduces the bass sound, and creates the rich sound eld.
The front speakers should be positioned at ear height while the surround
speakers should be positioned just above ear height. The center speaker
should be set up facing the listening position at an angle. Placing the powered
subwoofer between the center speaker and the front speaker gives you a natural
sound even when playing music sources.
