So the Sub wen't where?

Not very clear really.

There will be a separate video about the sub positioning and set up as mentioned in the video.

does the size of the room matter, because at those angles wont interference occur if your sitting position further away?

is it bad to place satelites high up? cause i had no choice but to mount my 5.1 5 satelites about 8 inches above the screen height and about a little over a foot down from the celing ,which is a high celing

@KolerikRocks "Discrete" means each speaker has it's own sounds directed to it. The only real 7.1 movie I know of is "3:10 To Yuma"! The Dolby and DTS people dont do 7.1 discreet. They mix everything in 5.1 and the sounds that come from your surrounds & surround back(SB) speakers are identical. The SB speakers are meant for larger rooms. Just because the box sais 7.1 doesn't mean it's discrete. I dropped my SB speakers because they"unbalanced" my experience. I couldn't be happier now!

My Bloody Valetine 3-D is in DTS MASTER AUDIO HD, and is in full 7.1 dude.

@ZroDfects Every tweek makes a difference...depending where you are in the room

im sorry but that was a worthless video..Rear speakers are blocked.Front left and right are too large for that room.sub location not talked about.The demo room is not a functional room.No acoustic dampening.couch is over sized.relation to sound pressure vs objects in the room...What was the point of this video again?Other than the obvious set up which a moron can figure out if he or she is building a theater of that scale to begin with.

@IgalaMan2010 ... I don't think it matters at all, but that is my opinion, not to say your an idiot or something, I am only saying that it doesn't matter because I have placed my speakers everywhere and I am one of the pickiest people in the world and I found no changed whatsoever. my cinema room is 6mtrs long and 4.2mtrs wide, and the surround in it is awesome, you hear everything clearly and sound effects behind you makes you look around sometimes which is what surrounds should do.... :)

[IgalaMan2010]

@ZroDfects I think positioning matter alot to achieve the right 3D surround sound. the idea is to be submerged in the sound :)
