Place it anywhere you like.Center Speaker fIt is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers. You can also install it directly over or under the TV.Rear Speakers hjPlace these speakers behind your listening position. If there isn't enough room, place these speakers such that they face each other. Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear, facing slightly downward.*  Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.HT-XA100,XA100C_XAA.indd   17 2008-02-21     5:09:47
