What is the correct setup for a 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound system?

Modified on Tue, 3 Mar at 10:11 AM

For 5.1, place surrounds to the sides (position A). For 7.1, use sides (B) and rears (C) for a full 360° soundstage. Position speakers at ear level and adjust crossover settings for optimal bass performance with or without a subwoofer.
