About Home Theater
The HTP-320’s great sound means that you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own
home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.

Front left and right speakers
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater
is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should
be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equi-
distant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a
triangle, with the listener at the apex.
Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front left and right
speakers, making sound movements distinct
and providing a full sound image. In movies it’s
used mainly for dialog.
Position it close to your TV facing forward at
about ear level, or at the same height
as the front left and right speakers.
Put it somewhere where
it won’t slide around or fall.
Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass
sounds of the LFE (Low-Fre-
quency Effects) channel. The vol-
ume and quality of the bass output
from your subwoofer will depend
on its position, the shape of your
listening room, and your listening
position. In general, a good bass
sound can be obtained by install-
ing the subwoofer in a front cor-
ner, or at one-third the width of the
wall, as shown.
Surround left and right speakers
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to
add realistic ambience. Position them at the sides of the lis-
tener, or slightly behind, about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above
ear level. Ideally they should be equidistant from the listener.

Wall-mounting the surround speakers
If the surround speakers are to be wall-mounted, make sure
that the walls are strong enough to support the speaker’s
weight. The weight that mounting screws can support varies
greatly depending on the wall material and the position of the
reinforcing ribs embedded in the wall.
Use long screws with a head diameter of 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) or
less and a shank diameter of 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) or less. (We
recommend that you consult a home installation profes-
sional.)
