Preferred Surround Placement
Height
If space permits, install surrounds 2-3 feet above viewers.
This helps to minimize localization effects.
If possible, place surround speaker to either side of the listen-
ing area, not behind it.
¶¨Î»
Aiming surrounds straight across the room, not down at
audiences, helps create a more open, spacious surround
sound field.

2-3feet
Rear wall
If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the speakers at
each other (A),towards the front (B) or even towards the side-
walls (C,D). Experiment with placement until surround sounds
seem to envelop you, rather than coming from behind you.
NO Adjacent Walls
Surrounds can go on stands facing each other to approximate
the preferred sidewall mounting(A), or to the sides or rear of
the viewing area aimed upwards. In the latter case, they can
go right on the floor, or preferably, a few feet off the floor such
as on end tables(B).
