following guidelines should help you to get the
best sound from your system.
• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor.
Deutsch
Ideally, the other speakers should be at
about ear-level when you’re listening to
them. Putting the speakers on the floor
(except the subwoofer), or mounting them
very high on a wall is not recommended.

• For the best stereo effect, place the front
speakers 2 m to 3 m apart, at equal
distance from the TV.
• If you’re going to place speakers around
your CRT TV, use shielded speakers or

of the front left and right speakers.

• It is best to angle the speakers towards the
listening position. The angle depends on
the size of the room. Use less of an angle
for bigger rooms.
• Surround and surround back speakers
should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm higher
than your ears and tilted slightly downward.
Make sure the speakers don’t face each
other. For DVD-Audio, the speakers should
be more directly behind the listener than for
home theater playback.
• Try not to place the surround speakers
farther away from the listening position
than the front and center speakers. Doing
so can weaken the surround sound effect.
