The diagram shows a typical example of a 5.1/6.1 loudspeaker setup.
Always adjust the speaker and listening positions until you are happy
with the sound. Please refer to the loudspeaker and subwoofer manuals
for more detailed positioning information.
Front Left and Right speakers
-
For stereo and multi-channel sound.
Angle towards the listening position.
Centre speaker
-
For dialogue and centre sounds. Position at a
similar height to the front left and right speakers (above or below the
TV/monitor). Using a centre speaker from the same
manufacturer/range as used used for the front left and right speakers
is advisable. This “timbre matching” allows surround effects to flow
more naturally from left to right without obvious transitions between the
speakers.
Surround Left and Right speakers
-
For ambient and multi-channel
sound. Floorstanding speakers should be angled towards the listening
position. Bookshelf/standmount speakers should be wall mounted or
used with dedicated speaker stands, positioned at or above ear height.
To set the required delay between speakers for surround sound modes,
please refer to the ‘Surround Sound Setup’ section of this manual.
Surround Back speaker
-
Optional sixth channel speaker, required
for enjoying Dolby
®
Digital EX or DTS
®
-ES audio. Improves the quality of
sound effects by filling the gap between the surround left and rear right
speakers. Position the speaker firing towards the front of the room.
Subwoofer - For improving the bass in your system, as well as
reproducing LFE cinema effects when playing Dolby Digital or DTS
encoded discs. Your subwoofer can often be placed almost anywhere in
the room as bass is less directional, but experimentation with
positioning is recommended.
