2 Connect the speaker system.
Refer to
Connecting up
to connect the speakers properly.
After connecting everything, place the speakers as
shown in the diagram (left) for optimal surround sound.
After placing the speakers, run the Auto MCACC setup
(page 23) to complete your surround sound setup.
3 Make sure the Front Surround mode is switched
off.
See the operating instructions for more on using Front
Surround.
Front surround setup
This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker
placement isn't possible or you want to avoid running
long speaker cables in your listening area. Use this setup
together with the Front Surround modes in page 26 to
take advantage of wall and ceiling reflections for a very
realistic surround effect.
1 Attach the smaller non-skid pads to the base of
the front and center speakers and to the speaker
stands. The four large non-skid pads are for the
receiver subwoofer (as shown).
Use the adhesive side of the pads to attach them to the
base (flat surface) of each speaker or stand.
2 Attach the surround speakers to the speaker
stands.
For each speaker, line up the spurs on the stand with the
holes on the back of the speaker and insert, then secure
the speaker to the stand with the screw provided.
3 Connect the speaker system.
Refer to
Connecting up
to connect the speakers properly.
After connecting everything, place the speakers as
shown in the diagram (left) for optimal surround sound
(the surround speakers are next to the front speakers).
