Note:

Ideal speaker layout requires that all speakers be placed at the
same distance from the listener. However, since in some places it
may be difficult to fulfil this requirement, this unit can adjust the
delay time so that the sounds through all the speakers reach the
listener with the same timing. (See page 34.)

Front speakers and center speaker

• Place these speakers (position of the mid-range speaker units) at

the same height from the floor.

• Place these speakers aiming at the listener’s ears.

Surround and surround back speakers

• Place these speakers at a position which is 1 meter higher than

the listener’s ears.

• Point these speakers down aiming at the listener’s ears.
