Enjoying Home Theater
Front left and right speakers
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a
solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the lis-
tener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so
as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front left
and right speakers, making sound
movements distinct and providing a
full sound image. In movies it’s used
mainly for dialog.
Position it close to your TV (preferably
on top) facing forward at about ear
level, or at the same height as the
front left and right speakers.
Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds
of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects)
channel. Position it in a corner or one-
third of the way along the front wall.
Surround back speakers
These speakers further
enhance the realism of sur-
round sound and improve
sound localization behind the
listener. Position them behind
the listener about 3 feet
(100 cm) above ear level.
Surround left and right speakers
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add real-
istic ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly
behind, about 3 feet (100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be
equidistant from the listener.
