Surround Channel Speakers
The surround channel speakers should be placed slightly above and behind, and/or to the sides of,
the listening position. For best performance, try to keep the listening position centered between
the surround channel speakers. You may want to experiment with angling the surround speakers
either towards or away from the listening position (depending on your décor and your room’s
furnishings) to obtain better sound quality.
Subwoofer
Placement of the subwoofer will largely determine the quality, quantity, and extension of the bass
frequencies in your listening room. Bass frequencies are reinforced by close room boundaries.
Placing the subwoofer nearer to a corner will make the subwoofer sound louder and boost the
very lowest frequencies. Placing the subwoofer away from a corner or walls will provide the least
reinforcement, possibly making the bass sound subjectively thinner than if the subwoofer were
closer to a wall or corner. A good starting point for subwoofer placement would be along a wall
and up to 3 feet from the corner. You may want to experiment with subwoofer placement and the
subwoofer amplifier controls to achieve the proper bass balance.
