Where to Place the Speakers
Mounting Options
Satellites and Surrounds
On shelves.
Wall-Mounting
Attach plate to wall. The
brackets should be placed, if
possible, so that the screws
will fasten into a wooden wall
stud. If that is not possible, use
properly selected wall anchors.
The customer is responsible for proper
selection and use of mounting hardware,
available through hardware stores, to prop-
erly and safely wall-mount the speakers.
On the wall. Wall brackets
are included.
Slide speaker onto support.
On optional stands (FS300).
Place speaker and sup-
port on wall plate.

Surround Speakers
Front Speakers Center-Channel Speaker
The front speakers should be placed the same
distance from each other as they are from the
listening position. They should be placed at
about the same height from the floor as the
listeners’ ears will be, or they may be angled
toward the listeners.
The center-channel speaker should be placed
slightly behind the front left and right speakers,
and no more than two feet above or below the
tweeters of the left and right speakers. It is
often convenient to set the center speaker on
top of the television set, as shown in the drawing.
Use the supplied support leg to aim it toward
the listener by screwing the leg in to angle the
speaker up, or unscrewing the leg slightly to
angle the speaker down.
The two surround speakers should be placed
slightly behind the listening position and, ideally,
should face each other and be at a level higher
than the listeners’ ears. If that is not possible,
they may be placed on a wall behind the listening
position, facing forward. The surround speakers
should not call attention to themselves.
Experiment with their placement until you hear a
diffuse, ambient sound accompanying the main-
program material heard in the front speakers.
The low-frequency material reproduced by the
subwoofer is mostly omnidirectional, and this
speaker may be placed in a convenient location
in the room. However, the best reproduction of
bass will be heard when the subwoofer is
placed in a corner along the same wall as the
front speakers. Experiment with subwoofer
placement by temporarily placing the subwoofer
in the listening position and moving around the
room until the bass reproduction is best. Place
the subwoofer in that location.
