Technicolor - Thomson DPL900VD - Manual (Page 12)

Getting Started
Preferred surround placement
Location
If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the lis-
tening area, not behind it.
Height
If space permits, install surrounds 2-3 feet (60 - 90 cm)
above viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects.
Aiming
Aiming surrounds straight across the room, not down at
viewers, helps create a more open, spacious surround sound
field.
Advanced Setting
Alternative Surround Placement
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
sidewalls (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 approxi-
mate 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).
