Can I position speakers behind it and get sound across the other side?

Regarding the comment about "a purist would tell you that you'd need an acoustic fabric screen":I've tried this with an inexpensive Elite Screens 96" vinyl-back screen.No offense intended, but when I put my speakers behind the screen bass was fine but it killed the midrange and treble. Dialog was muffled and more difficult to hear. Soundtrack music did not have as wide a stereo image and lacked "sparkle" as well as being muffled. This was easy for wife/friends (purist or not) to hear.Putting you speakers behind a standard (not thermal) curtain will give much better results as curtain fabric is pretty acoustically transparent.Perhaps you could mount your speakers below the screen if there is room.Just my .02 worth...

The sound gets "blocked" but that doesn't mean your room is silent. A purist would tell you that you'd need an acoustic fabric screen, but a purist probably wouldn't buy this screen, anyway. :) That doesn't mean its a bad screen... I love it, but a purist would spend the $1000 on a top-of-the-line screen. This is a budget screen. I'm assuming you are on a budget. Hide your speakers behind a curtain, turn them up, and decide whether you can live with the sound. Hiding the speakers behind the screen will be, more-or-less, the same.

Nope. The screen is like a vinyl sheet and not porous so the sound will be blocked.

You could have in wall speakers installed especially if your spreaker strength is good. I didn't 'cause it's just not athim screen!

Yes. There is a menu item that allows you to adjust the balance for all of the speakers. I bumped my rear speakers up a little because they are further away than they should be.

I hooked this up for a friend who had a display table for his flat screen. So the left and right laid on the table, and the center was placed right in front. Then for the rear, we bought two simple stands and ran the wires up the center pole of the stands. Keep in mind, use Velcro on the base of the rear speakers and the stands, in case someone "bumps" into them. If you are wall mounting, then this is the site for the speaker mounts....http://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-Deluxe-Speaker-Brackets-Ceilings/dp/B001QNBUA4/ref=pd_bxgy_e_text_y

Yes, you can. This actually setup is mainly used for computers actually. My only advice to you is do not turn the bass all the way up and keep distance between the speakers, otherwise you will get a slight static feedback that's low but annoying.

The sound may be uneven with one speaker positioned differently, but I see no reason why both couldn't be on their side. Frankly, it might not even matter. When using them the sound is very uniform when they are spread with the listener in the center. Great, crisp speakers unless you want booming bass.

They have tweeters that you can aim back toward where you sit. I have mine on the left/right walls too. Make sure you have a center channel and you'll be fine.

you can point the front side and surround speakers up, which helps with the stage, but the center cannot change angle so I suppose you'll lose some stage. Just make sure the speakers don't move around.

Ultimately they should be mounted slightly behind the listening position At ear level (for a 5.2 system) which would require speaker stands.However if for some reason this is not practical I would suggest using the side wall

Can it, yes. The real question is, should it. What is the rest of the system and what is your overall goal. I have discovered that mixing speaker (especially across the front) can cause issues. I am using Polk Rti's across the front and staging is seamless. When I had the CS20 between the RtiA9's, the center was noticeably brighter compared the left and right.

yes the froback to 2 speakers are in front next to the middle of tvthe back two are from 9 to 20 feet and thenter is in the middle up front or in backbut best in the front. also best if u put sub somewhere on the side but mine is in the back it should have come with a disk to help set up email me at mjvtxs2@gmail and ill see if i can find mine also for better sound gat an amp to connect

I don't think so. Don't think there is an extra out on either, unless maybe u bought a splitter, which would distort and redistribute the sound

Although I didn't try it, on the back of the player it has a line out for Right and Left. I am guessing that would be for additional speakers.

Yes, there are mounting brackets included that allow for vertical or horizontal placement (and adjustment of speaker direction).

Do not get in front of this speakers system. Place them in a 45 degree angle to get the most out of them

Thanks. Is there anything in the middle like a crossbar or anything that would get in the way of the center channel speaker?

I didn't do this so this is just an opinion. I don't know why you couldn't. You may have to drill a hole for mounting. First I would place it where you want it and see how it sounds.The only problem I can possibly foresee is this unit has fair bass. Hopefully it wouldn't vibrate on the wall.

cut it in the middle and add the cable you need, thats all. i did it with the rear speakers
