Surround Speakers
1.52 – 1.83m
(5 – 6 ft.)
Front Speakers
The front speakers should be
placed the same distance from
each other as they are from
the listening position. The
PT800 towers should be placed
with tweeters at about the
same height from the floor as
the listeners’ ears will be, or
they may be angled toward the
listeners. This applies whether
or not the PT800 is docked
with the PS1400 subwoofer.
The PC600 center-channel
speaker should be placed
slightly behind the front left
and right speakers, and no
more than two feet above or
below the tweeters of the left
and right speakers. It is often
convenient to set the center
speaker on top of the
television set, as shown
in the drawing.
The two surround speakers
should be placed slightly
behind the listening position
and, ideally, should face each
other and be at a level higher
than the listeners’ ears. If that
is not possible, they may be
placed on a wall behind the
listening position, facing
forward. The surround
speakers should not call
attention to themselves.

Important Note for PS1400 Placement: The PS1400 features
spiked feet for optimum acoustic performance. However, spikes
can damage certain types of floors, such as hardwood. In such
instances, place furniture coaster pads, available from any
hardware store, between the feet and the floor.
placement until you hear a
diffuse, ambient sound
accompanying the main-
program material heard in the
front speakers.
If you are not docking the
PT800 tower and PS1400
subwoofer modules:
The low-frequency material
reproduced by the subwoofer
is mostly omni-directional, and
this speaker may be placed in
a convenient location in the
room. However, the best
reproduction of bass will be
heard when the subwoofer is
placed in a corner along the
same wall as the front
speakers. Experiment with
subwoofer placement by
temporarily placing the
subwoofer in the listening
position and moving around
the room until the bass
reproduction is best. Place the
subwoofer in that location.
