and

think

about

placement,

keeping

the

fol

l

owing

points

in

mind,

and

using

Figure

1,

on

previous

page,

as

a

guide:

•

For

best

results,

place

the

speakers

6'-8'

apart.

•

Refer

to

"Home

Theater"

below

if

you

also

plan

to

use

the

one

speaker

on

the

left

and

another
