12 Simple setup (continued) Placement of speakers Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. Simple setup Front speakers Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right channel orientation is necessary. Center speaker Do not place the center speaker directly on the television as vibration may cause it to fall or disrupt the picture. Place it on a rack or shelf. Surround speakers Place on the side of or slightly behind the seating area, higher than ear level. Subwoofer The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a reasonable distance from the TV. Use only the supplied speakers Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected. Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface. Positioning for best effect How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. the following points. Place speakers on flat secure bases. Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with a thick curtain.
