either side of the television screen, 2 to 3 metres apart. The speakers
should be angled slightly so they are aimed towards listeners. We
behind the listener’s head. If the rear or side walls are a long way from
the listening seat, consider stand mounting the loudspeakers. If the
centre loudspeaker is very high or low, angle it towards the listener’s
ear level.
The front faces of the centre and surround loudspeakers should also
be in line as far as possible.
Subwoofer: As the ear is unable to detect the direction from which
deep bass originates, you have freedom to position the unit. Varying
the distance from the wall alters the bass. Placing the subwoofer
across a corner boosts the bass but may impair clarity. The
performance of a home theatre system can be enhanced by using
two subwoofers.

Placement
precise configuration of these systems will depend on the capabilities
of your processor and you should be guided by those instructions,
we would make some observation.
For 6.1 and 7.1 formats the listening seat should not be too close to
the rear wall.
Optimising the time delay so that information from all speakers
arrives at the listening seat coherently is critical if the benefits of
these systems are to be fully realised.
