One that will give you the best performance from your TV and Hi-fi.
Take your surround-sound and TV screen size into consideration, and take a look at these simple layout examples...

If you have spent a lot of money on your TV and TV equipment, it really makes sense to make sure you get the best performance out of them.
And it really makes a difference to the quality of the sound, depending on how all the speakers are positioned and angled...

Your TV is probably the focal point of everyone's attention some evenings...
...isn't it great to get everyone gathered together on the sofas to watch a really good movie - popcorn optional!

Remember, as always, these are just guidelines or suggested layouts. Feel free to do what suits you best in your living room.
And I hope you will have very many pleasurable viewing, and listening, hours to come...
