Surround Sound Setup

Whether you use the UB5 bookshelf or the UF5 floqrstanding speakers for a 5.1-channel surround set-up,

avoid placing the surround speakers forward

your listening position. The surround speakers should be

spread apart wider than the front speakers.

addition, elevate the speakers

the same height or slightly

higher

the front speakers for the most enveloping sound field. Like the front speakers, you may need to

experiment with the positioning by pointing the rear surround speakers towards the listening area.
