Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room
and the wall coverings, etc. The typical example of speaker placement
and recommendations are as follows :
Front left and right speakers and center speaker
Place the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with TV or
monitor screen as possible.
Place the center speaker between the front left and right speakers
and no further from the listening position than the front speakers.
Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the
listener’s ears when at the main listening position.
Surround left and right speakers
Place the surround speakers approximately 1 meter (40 inches)
above the ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of
them or slightly behind.
Surround back speaker
Place the surround back speaker at the rear center facing the front at
a slightly higher position (0 to 10 inches) than the surround speakers.
We recommend installing the surround back speaker at a slightly
downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back
channel signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front
center, resulting in interference and making the sense of movement
from the front to the back less sharp.
Subwoofer
The subwoofer reproduces powerful deep bass sounds.
Place a powered subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.

Speaker distance settings
When enjoying multi-channel surround playback with Dolby Digital and DTS sources, it is ideal that the center and surround
speakers, etc. should be the same distance from the main listening position as the front speakers. By entering the distance
between the listening position and each speaker, the delay times of center and surround speakers are automatically adjusted
to create an ideal listening environment virtually as if the center and surround speakers were at their ideal locations
respectively as below:

and center speakers.
To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except the subwoofer should be full range speakers.
