Hints on the speaker placement

Where you put your speakers in the room has a

big effect on the quality of the sound. The

following guidelines should help you to get the

best sound from your system.

• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor.

Ideally, the other speakers should be at

about ear-level when you’re listening to

them. Putting the speakers on the floor

(except the subwoofer), or mounting them

very high on a wall is not recommended.

• For the best stereo effect, place the front

speakers 2 m to 3 m apart, at equal

distance from the TV.

• If you’re going to place speakers around

your CRT TV, use shielded speakers or

place the speakers at a sufficient distance

from your CRT TV.

• If you’re using a center speaker, place the

front speakers at a wider angle. If not, place

them at a narrower angle.

• Place the center speaker above or below

the TV so that the sound of the center

channel is localized at the TV screen. Also,

make sure the center speaker does not

cross the line formed by the leading edge

of the front left and right speakers.

• It is best to angle the speakers towards the

listening position. The angle depends on

the size of the room. Use less of an angle

for bigger rooms.

• Surround and surround back speakers

should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm

higher than your ears and titled slight

downward. Make sure the speakers don’t

face each other. For DVD-Audio, the

speakers should be more directly behind

the listener than for home theater

playback.

• If the surround speakers cannot be set

directly to the side of the listening position

with a 7.1-channel system, the surround

effect can be enhanced by turning off the

Up Mix function (see Setting the Up Mix

function on page 38).

• Try not to place the surround speakers

farther away from the listening position

than the front and center speakers. Doing

so can weaken the surround sound effect.

• Place the left and right front height

speakers at least one meter directly above

the left and right front speakers.

CAUTION

• Make sure that all speakers are securely

installed. This not only improves sound

quality, but also reduces the risk of

damage or injury resulting from speakers

being knocked over or falling in the event

of external shocks such as earthquakes.

Important

• To connect the surround back or front

height speakers, an additional amplifier is

required. Connect the additional amplifier

to the PRE OUT SURR BACK/FRONT

HEIGHT outputs of this unit and connect

the surround back or front height speakers

to the additional amplifier (see Connect

the surround back or front height speakers

on page 19).

The Pre Out setting must be set if the above

connections are performed. Select

SURR.BACK if the surround back speaker

is connected and HEIGHT if the front

height speaker is connected (If neither the

surround back speaker nor the front height

speaker is connected, either setting will

suffice) (see The Pre Out Setting on

page 47).
