SPEAKER PLACEMENT

The ideal surround speaker system for this unit is 5-speaker systems, using front left and right speakers, a 
center speaker, surround left and right speakers and a subwoofer.
For best results we recommend that all front speakers be of the same type, with identical or similar driver 
units. This will deliver smooth pans across the front sound stage as the action moves from side to side.
Your center channel speaker is very important as over 80% of the dialog from a typical motion picture 
emanates from the center channel.
It should possess similar sonic characteristics to the main speakers. Surround channel speakers need not be 
identical to the front channel speakers, but they should be of high quality.
One of the benefi ts of both Dolby Digital and DTS is that surround channels are discrete full range, while they 
were frequency limited in earlier “Pro Logic’ type systems.
Bass effects are an important part of home theater. For optimal enjoyment a subwoofer should be used as 
it is optimized for low frequency reproduction. If you have full range front speakers, however, they may be 
used in place of a subwoofer with proper setting of the switches in the menu system.

FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS

We recommend to set the front L and R speakers 
with 45-60 degrees from the listening position.

CENTER SPEAKER

Align the front line of the center speaker with the 
front L/R speakers. Or place the center speaker a 
little backward from the line.

SURROUND LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS

When this unit is used in surround operation, the 
preferred location for surround speakers is on the 
side walls of the room, at or slightly behind the 
listening position.
The center of the center speaker should face the 
center of the room. 

SUBWOOFER

We recommend using a sub-woofer to have maximum 
bass effect. As the subwoofer only handles low 
frequencies, you can place it any where in the room.

HEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER UNITS

FRONT LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS, 
AND A CENTER SPEAKER

Align the tweeters and mid-range drivers on the 
three front speakers at the same height, as best 
as possible. 

Note

Use magnetically-shielded speakers for front left, 
right and the center speakers when the speakers are 
installed near the TV.

SURROUND LEFT AND RIGHT SPEAKERS 

Place the surround left, right higher than your ears 
by about 70cm – 1m. Also place the speakers at the 
same height, as best as possible.

CONNECTING SPEAKERS

•  Be sure to use speakers with the specifi ed impedance as shown on the rear panel of this unit.

•  When the subwoofer you are connecting is a powered subwoofer (i.e., has a built-in amp), connect it to 

the PRE OUT subwoofer jack.
