Surround speakers should be placed on
the side walls of the room, at or slightly
behind the listening position. The center
of the speaker should face into the room
with the active speaker drivers pointing
towards the front and rear of the room.
The speakers should be located so that
the bottom of the cabinet is at least 60
centimeters higher than the listeners’
ears when in the desired area.
If side wall mounting is not practical, the
speakers may be placed on a rear wall,
behind the listening position. Again, they
should be located so that the bottom of the
cabinet is at least 60 centimeters higher
than the listeners’ ears. The speakers
should be no more than 2 meters behind
the rear of the seating area.
Subwoofers produce non-directional
sound, so they may be placed almost
anywhere in a room. Subwoofer place-
ment is highly influenced by room size
and shape, and the type of subwoofer
used. Follow the instructions of the sub-
woofer’s manufacturer, or experiment
with the best location for a subwoofer in
your listening room.
Once the speakers have been placed in the
room and connected, the final step is to
enter the configuration information and
balance the speaker output levels. Before
proceeding further this is a good time to
review the installation section of the
manual to make certain that all connec-
tions are properly made.
