    The serial numbers begin with the letter R and L. R goes on the right side and L goes on the left, as you are facing the TV of course. I would suggest trying both Bi/dipole positions and leave the switch where it sounds the best to you.

    as already stated.. you want the woofers pointing towards you/front of the room.. and yeah they do have a L & R distinction.. i run mine in bi pole. to me the di pole sounded off balance. I really enjoy their diffused sound.. much more than direct firing speakers.

    good luck and happy listening
