About Home Theater
You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver:
Speakers A
and
Speakers B
.
Speakers A
should be used in your main listening room for up to 5.1-channel playback.
*
While Speakers B is on, Speakers A is reduced to 2.1-channel playback.
Speakers B
can be used in another room and offers 2-channel stereo playback.
Thanks to the AV receiver’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your
own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. With Blu-ray Discs, you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital.
With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.

Enjoying Home Theater
a
Front speakers
These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide
a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the
listener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward
so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.
b
Center speaker
This speaker enhances the front speakers, making sound movements dis-
tinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it’s used mainly for dia-
log. Position it close to your TV facing forward at about ear level, or at the
same height as the front speakers.
*
While Speakers B is on, this speaker outputs no sound.
c
Surround speakers
These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic
ambience. Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind,
about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be
equidistant from the listener.
*
While Speakers B is on, these speakers outputs no sound.
d
Subwoofer
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency
Effects) channel. The volume and quality of the bass output from your
subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening room,
and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained
by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the width of
the wall, as shown.
Tip
• To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some
music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various
positions within the room, and choose the one that provides the most satis-
fying results.
