Speaker Placement for a Complete THX Speaker System
If you have a complete THX Speaker System set (LucasFilm authorized), follow the diagram below to
place your speakers.
Notice the surround speakers should output at an angle parallel to the listener. Also, notice the angle
of the front speakers.
Speaker Placement for DVD-Audio (etc.) Sources
The best speaker placement for DVD-Audio (and other
multichannel music sources) may be different than for regu-
lar DVD discs. For these formats follow the diagram at right
as opposed to the home theater setups of the preceding
pages. If you want to use both home theater and DVD-Au-
dio discs follow the diagrams below and set up your MULTI
CH IN SELECT output mode accordingly.

In this diagram the white sound
waves represent the actual trans-
mitted sound and the shaded
sound waves represent the how the
sound will seem to the listener (the
virtual sound).
If you have two surround back
speakers we recommend placing
them together and the same dis-
tance from your listening position
so you can take advantage of the
ASA feature. For more details see
pages 89 & 94.
