JBL HDI SERIES LOUDSPEAKER - HOME THEATER SPEAKERS 5.1 PLACEMENT SUGGESTION LAYOUT DIAGRAM
When you use HDl-1600/3600/3800/4500 speakers as surround-channel speakers in a 5.1-channel system, place them slightly
behind the listening position, facing each other. Ideally, they should be 3 - 4 feet (0.9m - 1.2m) above the floor. An alternate
location would be on a wall behind the listening position, facing forward. The surround speakers should not call attention
to themselves while they're playing. Experiment with their placement until you hear a diffuse, ambient sound accompanying
the sounds that you hear from the front left, front right and center speakers.
