Getting Started Preferred surround placement Location If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the listening area, not behind it. Advanced Setting Alternative Surround Placement Rear wall If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or even towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement until surround sounds seem to envelop you, rather than coming from behind you. Courtesy Dolby Laboratories Height If space permits, install surrounds 2-3 feet above viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects. Courtesy Dolby Laboratories No adjacent walls Surrounds can go on stands facing each other to approximate the preferred sidewall mounting (A), or to the sides or rear of the viewing area aimed upwards. In the latter case, they can go right on the floor, or preferably, a few feet off the floor such as on end tables (B). Courtesy Dolby Laboratories Aiming Aiming surrounds straight across the room, not down at viewers, helps create a more open, spacious surround sound field.
