Front Left and Right Loudspeakers
These can be positioned using the same guidelines as detailed on the previous page. They should be placed equidistant to the left and right of your screen far enough apart to ensure good stereo imaging. If they are too far apart or too close to the corners of the room they will sound distracting and distant. It may be desirable to experiment with the 'toe-in' of the units (angling them towards the listening position) to optimize the front speaker soundstage and imaging.

Surround Loudspeakers
If you are using normal hi-fi loudspeakers as your surrounds they should be situated roughly at listening height and facing into the listening position. It is suggested that they are wall mounted or alternatively placed on suitable speaker stands.

Bipolar-type surround speakers can be set up in much the same way as standard 'monopole' types, so try positioning around listening height and angle toward the listener
Dipoles diffuse the sound in a slightly different way, and therefore have different positioning requirements: ideally they should be mounted to the side of the listener, and up to 15 degrees above listening height

Centre Channel Loudspeakers
Ideally your centre channel loudspeaker needs to be positioned directly above or below your screen, facing the listening position.

Final System Setup
Once all wiring connections are complete and you have positioned your home cinema loudspeakers, turn on your amplification system and run the relevant Level Calibration Sequence to establish the correct individual volume level for each speaker channel.

Finally, play some test material and make final adjustments to the Active Sub Frequency Cut-Off point that allows the best overall integration within the system, sounding neither too boomy, or overly thin. After this step, It may be necessary to run the Level calibration again to make final level checks.

EXPERIMENT !!
REMEMBER - IF IT SOUNDS RIGHT TO YOU, IT IS RIGHT !!
