Alignment

Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or

slightly behind (B) (the left and right speakers),

but not ahead of them.

Angle

Place the left and right speakers to form a

45-degree angle with your favorite viewing

position to duplicate the soundtrack mixer’s

perspective.
Height

The three front speakers should be as close as

possible to the same height. This often

requires placing the center speaker directly

on top (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.
