Enjoying the Surround Effect
Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic are used to enjoy the
3-dimensional sound effect with video image, you need
to use the devices as follows.
• Use the program sources (e.g. DVD) marked with
Dolby Surround ( or ).
In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers (2
front speakers, center speaker, 2 rear speakers and
subwoofer). If you want to play the excellent bass
sound or Dolby Digital surround, you should connect a
subwoofer.
• Front speakers
We recommend that the height of the tweeter of the front
speakers and listener’s ears are same height. And posi-
tioned at an angle of 45 degrees.
• Center speaker
It is ideal that the center speakers and front speakers are
same height. But normally place it above or below the televi-
sion.
• Rear speakers
Place left and right behind the listening area. These speak-
ers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for sur-
round playback. For best results, do not install the rear
speakers too far behind the listening position and install
them at or above the level of the listener’s ears. It is also
effective to direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling
to further disperse the sound.
In case of the small sizes from the front to rear of the room,
if the listener is near the rear wall set the rear speakers
opposite each other, and set the rear speakers above 60 -
90 cm above the listener’s ears in a downward direction.
• Subwoofer
Without notice for the setting position place it an appropriate
position.
❍ We recommend that you use the magnetic shielded
speakers for the front left/right speakers and center
speakers to protect from the video noise of the nearby
television.
❍ Use the speakers that have a similarity in the sound
character of all speakers.
