Step 1: Installing the System

For the best possible surround sound, place all speakers at the same distance from the listening position (I_). The distance can be between 0 to 23 feet (0.0 to 7.0 meters).

If you cannot place the center speaker and surround speakers at the same distance as (I_), place them within 23 feet (7.0 meters) of the listening position.

Place the surround speakers to the rear of the listening position (Q). The subwoofer can be placed anywhere in the room.
