Speaker Set-up

I have a couple of questions, any advice would be appreciated..

In setting up the my new RM6600's from my 8'ceiling, I have the surround's mounted about 2' behind the listening position and originally angled slightly down but still firing perpendicular to the wall (<- -> behind the listening position). I eventually turned them in towards the listening position as well. Now angled down and in. Is there a correct way to set these up to get the best surround sound and effect??

I placed my PSW350 directly in the corner behind the TV, "just fit". I have it firing towards one wall about three inches away. In placing it in the corner is this okay? Do I want it to fire directly into the corner or the same direction as the TV (opposite the corner)? -How do I best utilize the corner positioning of this sub.

Also, I have the HUMMM. Went out this morning to greet my new system before work (I think I'll be doing this for a while, it's a new love thing, don't tell my wife.. ha), and noticed a slight humm from the sub. I had left the sub in the on/auto/standby over night. I turned the unit off and it went away, also tried turning down the volume and it went away as well. I have it wired the recommended way using 12 AWG cable. Can some one help with this? I'm running the system with a Denon 2802, also new..

The AVR and the sub are on audition.. If I can't get rid of the humm does anyone have suggestion for another sub in the same $$ range maybe a bit tighter (the room has thick carpet)? The RM6600's are sold!

Thank you in advance.. -Dv
