Better Surround Placement
Location
If possible, place surround speakers to either side
of the listening area, not behind it.
Height
If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet above
viewers. This helps to minimize localization eff ects.
Aiming
Aim surround speakers straight across the room,
not down at viewers, to help create a more open,
spacious surround sound fi eld.
Alternative Surround Placement
Rear wall
If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the
speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or
towards the sidewalls (C, D).
Experiment with placement until sounds seem to
surround you, rather than come from behind you.
No adjacent walls
Surround speakers can go on stands facing
each other to approximate sidewall mounting
(A), or to the sides or rear of the viewing area,
aimed upwards; they can go right on the fl oor, or
preferably, a few feet off the fl oor such as on end
tables (B).
Test Tone/Channel Balance
Channel Balance
Your receiver is equipped with a test signal
generator to help balance the audio level for each
channel. See Audio Setup under The Setup Menu
section for more details on how to access this
feature.
Level Adjustment and Surround Channel Level
Expectation
Even though you adjust the surround channel to
be as loud as the others on the test signal, you
may fi nd that surround channels seems quieter
for actual TV and Movie content. This is because
producers use surround for subtle atmospherics
and ambience, and only rarely for special eff ects.
