A 7.1 system setup uses 4 surround speakers. To get the most out of your 7.1 set-up, the SBL and SBR should be the direct firing type, placed together on the back wall. This allows the THX Advanced Speaker Array, or ASA technology to deliver its maximum effect.
If the SBL and the SBR can't be placed together, refer to the pre-amplifier or receiver's "THX Setup" menu for alternative configurations to maximize your system's potential.
Check out these additional placement tips for your front speakers, center channel, side surrounds, back surrounds and subwoofers.
