CONNECTIONS
This unit uses acoustic field effects and sound decoders to bring you the impact of a real movie theater or concert hall. These effects will be brought to you with ideal speaker positioning and
connections in your listening environment.
Speaker channels and functions
■
Front left and right speakers
The front speakers are used for the front channel sounds (stereo
sound) and effect sounds.
Front speaker layout:
Place these speakers at an equal distance from the ideal listening
position in the front of the room. When using a projector screen,
the appropriate top positions of the speakers are about 1/4 of the
screen from the bottom.
■
Center speaker
The center speaker is for the center channel sounds (dialog, vocals,
etc.).
Center speaker layout:
Place it halfway between the left and right front speakers. When
using a TV, place the speaker just above or just under the center of
the TV with the front surfaces of the TV and the speaker aligned.
When using a screen, place it just under the center of the screen.
■
Surround left and right speakers
The surround speakers are for effect and vocal sounds with the 5.1-
channel speakers providing rear-area sounds. When used with 6.1/
7.1-channel (including surround back channel), sound for right and
left rear-area is output.
Surround speaker layout:
Place the speakers at the rear of the room on the left and right sides
facing the listening position. They should be placed between 60
degrees and 80 degrees from the listening position and with the
speaker tops at a height of 1.5 – 1.8 m from the floor.
■
Surround back left and right speakers
Outputs the rear effect. When used with 6.1ch sound, sound from
the left and right sound surround back speakers is mixed and output
from a single speaker. When used with 5.1ch sound, sound from
surround back speakers is distributed between the left and right
surround speakers.
Surround back speaker setting:
When used with 7.1ch sound, arrange the left and right speakers
towards the listening position, to the rear of the listening position.
Arrange the left and right speakers at least 30 cm apart. The same
separation as with the front left and right speakers is optimum.
When used with 6.1ch sound, arrange these to the rear of the
listening position.
■
Subwoofer
The subwoofer speaker is used for bass sounds and low-frequency
effect (LFE) sounds included in Dolby Digital and DTS. Use a
subwoofer that is equipped with built-in amplifier.
Subwoofer speaker layout:
Place it exterior to the front left and right speakers facing slightly
inward to reduce echoes from the wall.
