GAMING SETUP GUIDE
FIND A GAME
"Having the game
 content mixed properly
 is essential in a final
 post production phase
 of development. Again,
 this should be done in
 a correctly calibrated
 surround environment,
 preferably of THX
 standard."

THX HOME THEATER SETUP GUIDE FOR GAMING



Left & Right Front Speakers: Place at ear height, producing a 45° angle as viewed from the main seat.

Center Channel Speaker: Place either above or below the display and aim the speaker to point directly at the listener.



Left & Right Surround Speakers: Place between 90° to 110° to each side and 2 feet or higher above the listener.

Back Surround Speakers: Separate the back surround speakers to produce a 150° angle from the display.

Subwoofer: If you have four subs, place them in a cross pattern in the middle of each wall. If you have two, put them in the middle of opposing walls. If you have one, place it in the middle of the front wall.

Correct Screen Size: To find the right HDTV for your living room, measure the diagonal screen size and divide by .84. For example, a 65-inch HDTV divided by .84 equals a 77-inch viewing distance. Thus, for a 65-inch HDTV, you will need at least 6.5 feet (77 inches) from the screen to the main seating position.
