Front left speaker
Place the front speakers with their front
surfaces as flush with the 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.
Notes
• When using a conventional TV, to avoid
interference with the TV picture, use only
magnetically shielded front left and right and
center speakers.
• To obtain the best surround effects, the
speakers except the subwoofer should be full
range speakers.
