Important points regarding speaker placement Standard speaker system for reproducing surround sound
· Front right and left speakers · Center speaker Produces a rich sound image by serving as a sound source for the front right and left speakers and enhancing the sonic movement. · Surround right and left speakers Adds three-dimensional sonic movement and produces environmental sound associated with the background and effect sound for each scene. Front left and right speakers and center speaker · Place these three speakers at the same height from the floor. · Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listener's ears at the listening position. · Install the left and right front speakers at the same distance from the listening position. Surround left and right speakers · Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter (3. 3 feet) higher than that of the listener's ears. Subwoofer · The subwoofer can provide a similar sound effect regardless of the installation position, provided that it is installed within the room containing the listening position.
If the subwoofer and center speaker are not available
The sound recorded for the center speaker and the subwoofer will be properly distributed to the front right and left speakers for optimized surround playback.
