speaker at least 1 meter behind the Iistcning posilion.
It is recommended to place the speaker at an equa1

there is no space behind the listening position, set the
speaker above the listening position by placing it on a
stand or hanging it from the ceiling. To prevent
speaker damage or injury in case the speaker falls,
make sure that it is properly fixed in place.
Do not place the center speaker farther away from the
listening position than the front speakers.
