Speaker Setup
For the best possible surround sound all the speakers
other than the subwoofer should be the same distance
from the listening position (A).
However, this system lets you to place the center speaker
up to 5 feet closer (B) and the rear speakers up to 15 feet
closer (C) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 3 to 15 feet (A)
from the listening position.
You can place the rear speakers either behind you or to
the side, depending on the shape of your room, etc.
Note
Do not place the center and rear speakers farther away from the
listening position than the front speakers.
