Front Speakers (FR and FL)
The front speakers are used for the main source sound plus
effect sounds. Place these speakers an equal distance from
the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker
from each side of the video monitor should be the same.
Center Speaker (C)
The center spe
aker plays
t
he center channel sounds
(dialogue, vocals, etc.). Align the front f
ace of the
center
speaker with the front face of your video monitor. Place the
speaker directly between the front speakers and
as
close to
the TV/mon
itor as p
ossible.
NOTE: If
for s
ome reason it is
i
mpractical to use a center
speaker, it can be left ou
t but fo
r best results it is recom-
mended that you u
se the full system.
Surround Speakers (SR and SL)
The surround speakers are used for effect and surround
sounds. Place these speakers beh
i
nd th
e listening position,
facing slightly inwards,
appro
ximately 5.9
’
(1.8 m) above the
fl oor.
Surround Back Speakers (SBR and SBL)
The Surround Back speakers supplement the surround
speakers and provide for more realistic front-to-back transi-
tions. Place these speakers directly behind the listening
position and at approximately 5.9” (1.8) above the fl oor, the
same height as the surround speakers. Ideally these should
be positioned with the same distance between each other
as is between the front speakers or no less than 11.8” (30
cm).
Subwoofer
A sub
woofer
is great for not only
reinforcing bass frequen-
cies from any or all channels but also for high fi delity repro-
duction of the LFE (low-frequency effect) c
hannel included
in Dolby Digital and DTS software. It is best to
position the
subwoofer near the front speakers and turn it slightly to-
wards t
h
e center of the room to reduce wall refl ections.
Di-Pole Speaker Layout
Either Di-pole or direct radiating speaker types can be used
for THX surround sound. If you choose di-pole speakers,
please place the surround and surround back speakers ac-
cording to the speaker layout below.
