Setting up your speakers
In a truly square room, setup is usually straight forward. If you have the TV and home-entertainment equiptment in the middle of one wall, then both the front left and right speakers shoud be equal distances either side of the TV. Ditto with the rear speakers, though ideally these should be place behind the seating area. All speakers should be angled towards the listener, who should be the centre. the centre speaker (which carries voice) should directly face the listener ether above or underneth where the picture comes from, while the subwoofer can be place pretty much anywhere convenient.
If your home-entertainment setup is in the corner or a square room, the front left and right speakers may end up closer than their rear counterparts. If so, adjust their angles accordingly.
If setting up in an L-shaped room, or similar irregular shape, you should mentally plot a square inside this. then follow the rules above, ensuring that the listener remains slap-bang in the middle of the imaginary square.
