Home theater sound setup
Depending on the size and characteristics of
your room, you can choose to place your
speakers in one of two ways using this system:
•
Standard surround 5-spot setup
– This is
a standard multichannel surround sound
speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel
home theatre sound.
•
Front surround 3-spot 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 to take
advantage of wall and ceiling reflections
for a very realistic surround effect.
See
About the listening modes
on page 23 for
more on using the different listening modes
with each speaker setup.
Using the Room Setup
After you have set up your speakers to your
liking (see
Home theater sound setup
above),
make sure you calibrate your system for
surround sound. This is a quick and easy way
to get good surround sound for your room.
For a more detailed surround sound setup, see
Using the System Setup menu
on page 44.
