Picture would help ... but assuming I have complete freedom to put things anywhere I want (which is never the case). My first thought would be to put the screen on the right wall and the couch centered facing it with its back a few feet from the window. This way you will start off with a symmetrical layout and I'd think that the surround experience would greatly improved. The window would be changed into an asset if cover with heavy curtains.
Although you can get away with a couch up against the wall it's alway better to have a few feet behind it. This is especially true if you ever want to go ATMOS as it's less forgiving than 5.1 and 7.1. Also. it's never good to be sitting next to or below any surround.
Yep.
