PLACING THE SPEAKER Place the center speaker on the floor under the TV or inside the TV rack so that it is stabilized. The center speaker should be set in alignment with the center of the TV screen. The positioning of the center speaker is important, because it controls the whole sound quality of a multi channel system. Set up the center speaker on the basis of your listening position by following the owner's manual supplied with your amplifier.
