Placing Your Speakers
Proper speaker placement is essential to realize the best sound from your system. The diagram and
tips given here are just a rough guide; be sure to read the instructions that come with your
speakers.
Speaker placement
If you have a multiple speaker arrangement the placement of the speakers is extremely important.
To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below. Make sure all
speakers are installed securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality. Be sure to consult
your speaker manuals for the best placement of the speakers. Some speakers are designed to be
floor-standing but others benefit greatly from speakers stands which raise them off the floor.
Install the left and right front speakers at equal distances from the TV.
When installing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded
speakers to prevent possible interference such as distortion in the color of the TV
screen. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of
the TV screen, place the speakers farther away from the TV.
Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center
channel is localized at the TV screen.
CAUTION:
When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or
some other suitable means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external
shocks such as earthquakes, and it may lead to endangering those nearby or damaging
the speaker.
If possible, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level.
It may be difficult to obtain a cohesive surround effect if the surround speakers are
installed farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers.
