**How to Set Up Your Home Theater System**

To create an optimal sound system, familiarize yourself with the role and position of each speaker. Choose a central seating point and angle your speakers at it, keeping them at your ear height when you are seated, unless noted otherwise.

**Fine-Tuning Your Speakers**

No two rooms are alike. To experience your system at its best, you might need to fine-tune your setup after some initial listening. Here are a few tips.

Create a clear path between you and your speakers. If you can’t see the speaker, sound is being blocked.

**Experimentation**

Don’t be afraid to experiment with small adjustments and re-positioning to boost sound quality.
