Can I "point" the direction of this speaker (whole speaker or tweeter) towards the seating area to use as a center channel?

This is not a good choice for a center channel. It is meant to be used as a combination right and left channel speaker. It's primary purpose is to bring both channels to a remote location like a bedroom, bathroom or outside area where you do want to set up two separate speakers. I would suggest buying a speaker for your center channel that matches your left and right speakers. Most manufacturers make a center channel speaker that match their other speakers.

The center speaker of this unit can be used for the center channel but then the remaining speakers would be useless unless they are connected to other channels of your system.

I don't see why not. I'm guessing you are not using it as a center channel.

Above would work just as well as below. The center is supposed to carry the dialog, and you want the dialog to appear to be coming from the TV, so above and below will both accomplish this. The tweeters on your front left/right speakers are supposed to be at ear level while seated. But since your TV is supposed to be at eye level, it's impossible to have the center speaker at ear level, so above or below both accomplish the task of pairing the vocals to the picture.

That would actually be your best set up, all 5 (or 7) speakers being the same; especially up front. If you were rip down the theatre or Imax screen, that is exactly what you would see. All mounted vertically, do not purposely mount center channel horizontally if possible, creates all kinds or audio physics havoc. The invention of the horizontal center channel is a joke to the high end audio world.

not without modifying your tweeter enclosure. this thing is big. look at the dimensions. i was fooled when i bought mine.

It sounds like you have a constraint that has no other option but the ceiling. Mine are mounted in the ceiling and shooting straight down to where I sit/view TV. I imagine they would be fine in your installation since the tweeters are adjustable to aim toward you.

Yes! All directions, any direction.I often place it backwards from the picture to accommodate larger music.

You have 5 separate channels on the back of the speaker. You could only connect the center channel but it would be a waste of the other speakers enclosed. There are much better choices if you are only looking for a center channel speaker.

Hey David ~ ive installed mine with the Pre-Concern that you had as well, no worries at all, it can be installed perfectly in any direction. nothing against your surround speakers. :D

The woofer should face a solid surface or the ground. I mounted mine horizontally about 8 feet off the ground. The mid and tweeter face directly toward the sitting area.

I turned one of my Wharfedale - Diamond 10.1 speakers on its side. Due to the weight of the drivers, it tilts forward until the front edge contacts the supporting surface. It has a slight angle downward. If this angle works for your seating position, then it should be fine. Otherwise a piece of wood or other support under the front would level it out.

It depends on how for your speakers are apart I have my center speaker turned down to match my other speakers on my computer because they a little closer together I hope this helped.

I mounted mine vertically with the tweeters to the inside /bass to the oustide. The tweeters are tilted to face out towards my backyard and the bass tilted toward the house to reflect off the wall of the house, they sound fantastic

Shouldn't be a problem. You might want to experiment with tweeters facing in or out to achieve the best sound possible. Space between the speakers will determine that.

The receiver is perfectly capable of using only 4 speakers. Thr results depend a lot of room placement and speaker imaging for getting away without a center channel. I ran the setup and it recognized on the firdt sound sweep with the microphone that there was no center and automatically adjusted accordingly.

As others have said, this is not how this sound bar was intended to be used. Can it be done? Well, that depends on the receiver you intend to connect it to, and its capabilities. With the right outputs on the receiver, there are ways to connect the two together. Having said that, I cannot come up with much reason why you would do this. My best guess is that you would like to have a single speaker up front to handle your front and center stage. There are speakers out there like this, for example: Dayton AudioBS36 36-Inch LCR Speaker Bar (Black) ). They also have an option that comes with a powered sub as well if you need that. As for this sound bar, this product is really designed to be used as a stand alone sound system. As others have said, this is not how this sound bar was intended to be used. Can it be done?
