Listeing position Surround back left and right speakers · Place the surround back speakers at the back facing the front at a narrower distance than the front speakers. · When using a single surround back speaker, place it at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher position(0 to 10 inches) than the surround speakers. · We recommend installing the surround back speaker at a slightly downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the TV or screen at the front center, resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp. 1.
