ENGLISH
• Set the front speakers, center speaker and
subwoofer in the same positions as in
example (1).
• It is best to place the surround speakers
directly at the side or slightly to the front of
the viewing position, and 60 to 90 cm above
the ears.
• Same as surround back speaker installation
method (1).
Using dipolar speakers for the surround back speakers as well is more effective.
• Connect the surround speakers to the surround speaker jacks.
• The signals from the surround channels reflect off the walls as shown on the
diagram at the left, creating an enveloping and realistic surround sound
presentation.
For multi-channel music sources however, the use of bipolar or dipolar
speakers mounted at the sides of the listening position may not be satisfactory
in order to create a coherent 360 degree surround sound field. Connect another
pair of direct radiating speakers as described in example (3) and place them at
the rear corners of the room facing towards the prime listening position.
• Set the front speakers with their front
surfaces as flush with the TV or monitor
screen as possible. Set the center speaker
between the front left and right speakers and
no further from the listening position than the
front speakers.
• Consult the owner’s manual for your
subwoofer for advice on placing the
subwoofer within the listening room.
• If the surround speakers are direct-radiating (monopolar) then place them
slightly behind and at an angle to the listening position and parallel to the walls
at a position 60 to 90 cm above ear level at the prime listening position.
• When using one surround back speaker, place it at the rear center facing the
front at a slightly higher position (0 to 20 cm) than the surround speakers.
• We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a slightly downward
facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back channel signals from
reflecting off the monitor or screen at the front center, resulting in interference
and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp.
(2) Setting for primarily watching movies using diffusion type speakers for the surround speakers
For the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse radiation speakers such as bipolar types,
or dipolar types, provide a wider dispersion than is possible to obtain from a direct radiating speaker
(monopolar). Place these speakers at either side of the prime listening position, mounted above ear level.

Here we describe a number of speaker settings for different purposes. Use these examples as guides to set up
your system according to the type of speakers used and the main usage purpose.
