Place the left and right loudspeakers the same distance from the
primary listening area (or as close to the same distance as possible). The
distance from each speaker to its nearest side wall should also be the
as close to the same distance as possible.

slightly less than their distance from the primary listening area.

• The front left, center and front right loudspeakers should be
centered relative to the video display, with their midrange/tweeter
transducers facing towards the listening area.
• The front left, center, and front right loudspeakers should be closer
to the video display than to the main listening area. For example,
if the video display is 10 ft (3m) from the main listening area, the
loudspeakers should be no more than 4 ft (1.2m) from the display.
• The front left and front right loudspeakers should be relatively close
to the sides of the video display. For example, front left and front
right loudspeakers used with a 50-in (1.2m) video display should
generally not be more than 80 in (2m) apart.
• The center loudspeaker should be aligned with the center of the
video display.
• The surround-channel loudspeakers should be as far from the main
listening area as possible, but at least 2 ft (0.6m) from side and rear
walls.
5.1-Channel Speaker Placement
• In a 5.1-channel system, the surround left and surround right
loudspeakers should be located to the sides of, and approximately
10 degrees behind, the main listening area. The midrange/tweeter
transducers should normally be oriented towards the listeners.
However, if a more diffuse surround soundfield is desired – for
instance, if the room has more than one row of seats – you can orient
the midrange/tweeter transducers towards the room’s rear wall.

7.1-Channel Speaker Placement
• In a 7.1-channel system, the surround left and surround right
loudspeakers should be located directly to the sides of, or up to 10
degrees behind, the main listening area.
• In a 7.1-channel system, the surround back left and surround back
right loudspeakers should be equidistant from the primary listening
area and generally as far away from it as possible, but at least
2 ft (0.6m) from the side and rear walls. The midrange/tweeter
transducers should be oriented towards the listeners.
